Kalvin Phillips has completed a loan move from Manchester City to Sheffield United for the rest of the season.
The midfielder, 30, has been limited to just seven minutes of football this season in the Carabao Cup for City.
Sky Sports News was told there was interest from other clubs, but Phillips was keen for a return to Yorkshire in a bid to rejuvenate his career.
Phillips played for Leeds for eight years, making 214 appearances, before a £42m move to Manchester City in 2022.
He was part of the squad that won the treble in his first season at the club but made just 21 appearances in all competitions and only 12 in the Premier League.
In total, he made 32 appearances City, and spent part of the last two seasons on loan at West Ham and then Ipswich in the Premier League. He last featured in the Championship for Leeds in 2020.
Phillips has also won 31 England caps and was a key part of the side that made the final at Euro 2020. But his most recent cap came in 2023.
It's thought City will still pay the bulk of Phillips' salary while he is on loan at Bramall Lane.
Redknapp: Phillips wants to go and put himself on the line
Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp:
"It's sad because making one wrong move can jeopardise everything. He could have gone somewhere else and been a regular starter.
"He went into Manchester City head-to-head with Rodri, didn't win that battle and then all of a sudden you get a bit lost.
"He played in some cup games, didn't play well, the team lost. Straight away the manager loses a bit of faith in you.
"He wants to play, that's a good thing. He wants to go and put himself on the line and go play for Sheffield United. I hope it works out well."

Rediscover his form at 30? He should collect his remaining pay cheque from the Citizens. He should have left permanently long time ago

Pep didn't destroy Kelvin Phillips, Phillips thought going to Man City was a Walk in the park as usual, but the competition he met at City rather overwhelmed him and his confidence

Another talent destroyed by Pep just as he destroyed Jack Grealish. I think he doesn't like English players.

Football can be cruel sometimes,from one of the best midfielders in Epl few years ago,to someone struggling to even be bought by a decent club in the championship, second division. I pray he rejuvenate,I just pray he does
