Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has slammed promotion rivals Leeds, labelling them as 'muppets' after guiding his side to the Premier League.
The Blades secured promotion to the top-flight after Wilder's side beat Ipswich 2-0 on Saturday at Bramall Lane, while Leeds were held to a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa a day later at Elland Road.
Leeds have become the first team in a decade to top the Championship on Christmas Day and miss out on automatic promotion.
And after Marcelo Bielsa's side missed out, Wilder was quick to fuel the fire after Leeds' attempted to play mind games in the race for promotion while his side 'steamrolled' the Championship.
Wilder told United's official Youtube channel: 'We've had one defeat in 13 and I've got muppets from Leeds talking about the pressure being on us,' Wilder said.
'(Patrick) Bamford and (Adam) Forshaw and a couple of others. It's over to you and this, that and the other.
'They got beat seven times since Christmas. We've been beaten once. We've set it up from Christmas to be in the race and we've steamrolled it.
'After the international break, two points a game. That's promotion form right the way through in the pressure part of the season.
'Listen, don't mention anything about bottle and b******s or about us dipping out.'
The Blades, who secured Premier League football for the first time since 2007, celebrated in style on Sunday afternoon as they watched Leeds fail to pick up all three points.
