Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles can have no excuses for not picking up results after their transfer business, according to BBC EFL pundit Jobi McAnuff.

The Blades have lost all five games in league and cup under Selles since he took over in the summer and are bottom of the Championship.

Alex Matos, Ben Mee, Mark McGuinness, Chiedozie Ogebene, Japhet Tanganga, Danny Ings and Tahith Chong have arrived at Bramall Lane in the final fortnight of the transfer window.

"It's been a mess of a summer - starting with the sacking of Chris Wilder," said former Reading and Watford midfielder McAnuff on the BBC's EFL podcast 72+.

"From what I've seen I've not been impressed with Ruben Selles in the way he's set the team up - he's not getting the best out of the group yet.

"He maybe wasn't given the tools he needed to put a team together that can go and get results which gives him a little bit of an out but he should be doing better with the squad he has at his disposal.

"But he certainly has no excuses with what he's brought in now."

Sheffield United return to Championship action with a trip to Ipswich on Friday, 12 September (20:00).
