With Liverpool signing the former Real Madrid star Neil Mellor's place in the Liverpool side has come under threat and Sheffield United have again been linked with a move for the Academy graduate. However, Mellor insists he does not want to join the Blades but wants to stay and fight for his place with the Reds.
Mellor said: "I don't want to leave. The first I heard of interest from Sheffield United was when I saw it on Sky but I won't be going there.
"I know my form hasn't been good since my illness, but I know that and I am the first person to say when I'm not playing well. I'm not even thinking of leaving. This has been a brilliant season for me so far getting into the Liverpool first team.
"I want to stay and keep improving and show the manager I can do a job when I get the chance."
