Kevin Blackwell allows Sun Jihai to return home
SHEFFIELD United manager Kevin Blackwell has allowed former Manchester City defender Sun Jihai to return to his native China.
Although Sun, 31, made a positive start to his career with the Blades last season, his first team opportunities were limited after the emergence of youngster Kyle Naughton.
Blackwell said: "We have allowed Sun to move back to China. Although his mum was over here, he missed his family greatly and wanted his kids to be schooled over there.
"The situation made him slightly uncomfortable so I didn't want to keep him like that. He is a great professional and a good lad who taught the young lads quite a lot and we wish him all the best."
