Perhaps the need to improve the grittier side of the game, rather than anything technical, was behind the thinking.Īnd perhaps that is also the reasoning behind potentially allowing Palmer to spend a season away from the Etihad. Guardiola decided to take a different approach to McAtee's development in sending him out on loan, having previously decided to keep the likes of Phil Foden and Rico Lewis in his sights. “Everyone can see that I have developed I have got a little bit bigger and a bit more comfortable playing in front of fans," he admitted come the end of the season in May. With his development physically and mentally, the youngster grew into one of the league's most influential talents and played a major role in Sheffield's eventual promotion to the Premier League. The youngster had little choice but to bulk up in the battleground of the Championship, a league in which his technical quality shone through but meant little without the fight to back it up.

He has grown and grown into that role."ĪLSO READ: Man City unwilling to sanction Cole Palmer transfer this summer "He has learned a hell of a lot about himself, about first-team football and everything that comes with it when you are expected to perform week in, week out, every three days. "Macca has gone from a boy to a man," Heckingbottom told Yorkshire Live of the City loanee in May. His 37 league appearances yielded nine goals and three assists, enough to see him named Young Player of the Year for a side who achieved automatic promotion. A drop into the Championship was hoped to give the attacking midfielder a taste of senior football against experienced professionals, and he didn't half take it in his stride. McAtee joined the Blades as a teenager and, barring sporadic appearances for the first-team, an under-23s prospect - albeit a very good one.
