Sheffield United defender Femi Seriki has said new head coach Ruben Selles' style of football "suits me to a tee".

The 22-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year at Bramall Lane under former boss Chris Wilder last season, making 27 appearances and competing with Hamza Choudhury and Alfie Gilchrist as the club's first choice right-back.

Now under Selles, Seriki believes he can take his game to another level.

"It's definitely a different style of play, a lot of intensity, a lot of running and a lot of pressing but it's good, I'm enjoying it," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"It's been tough but it's been good. I'd say it suits me to a tee.

"Me, Harrison [Burrows], Sam [McCallum], the other Sam [Curtis] - full-backs being on the front foot. I'm enjoying it.

"For us, it's about knowing when to press, when to get to a man and then obviously shuffling as a back four, making sure we're not leaving ourselves too exposed and get the right timing."
