Sheffield United’s stance regarding Slater’s future remains unknown.
The Blades are still on the hunt for a new manager and his situation will only become clearer once Chris Wilder’s replacement is brought in.
Since breaking into senior football, Slater has played three times for Sheffield United’s senior side. He has picked up experience of senior football out on loan, spending time with Carlisle United and Scunthorpe United as well as Hull.
