Keeper makes strong Sheffield United pledge to disappoint West Ham Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has made it clear he wants to remain with Sheffield United even if they are relegated to the Championship. Ramsdale, 22, has endured a tough season with the Blades. They sit rock bottom of the Premier League standings and have little chance of avoiding the drop.
