WHO WOULD BE<br />
A MANAGER?<br />
Our regular contributor DAVE BURKINSHAW casts a glance over former<br />
<strong>United</strong> players who have tried their hand at management...<br />
Shaun Derry...<br />
Nottingham-born Shaun Derry<br />
was a strong, hard-working and<br />
energetic midfielder, most suited<br />
to a defensive role.<br />
He made his Football League bow with<br />
the team he had supported as a boy, Notts<br />
County, in March 1996. After impressing<br />
with County, the Blades signed him in<br />
January 1998 for fee reportedly in the<br />
£700K region.<br />
He made 72 league appearances<br />
for <strong>United</strong> including an appearance as<br />
an emergency goalkeeper in a game<br />
at Portsmouth, keeping a clean sheet.<br />
The only goal he scored for the club<br />
came in an FA Cup tie away to Rushden<br />
and Diamonds.<br />
<strong>United</strong> boss Neil Warnock sold Shaun<br />
to Portsmouth in March 2000 for a fee in<br />
the region of £400K. Shaun then had a<br />
number of other moves during his playing<br />
career including two spells with Crystal<br />
Palace and stints at Leeds <strong>United</strong>, QPR<br />
