Sheffield United have reportedly had a bid for Kieron Freeman rejected by Derby County.
The Blades are looking to sign Freeman permanently after his loan spell at Bramall Lane last season.
According to Sky Sports News, the Blades' offer for the right-back wasn't good enough for Derby to accept.
United boss Nigel Clough is said to be a big fan of Freeman, who he signed for Derby when he was manager of the Rams.
