Man City youngster James McAtee a top priority for Borussia Dortmund and a possible Florian Wirtz successor for Bayer Leverkusen as January interest heats up | Goal.com US Manchester City youngster James McAtee is a target for Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, per a new report.
Spark plug off bench McAtee registered one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Leicester City.
Impact McAtee only appeared for 24 minutes Sunday, earning a short appearance off the bench. He was slightly quiet when looking at the stat sheet, only seeing one shot. However, his outfield presence added a new layer to City once entering the field, providing a spark that would revive the team and lead to their second goal of the match. That said, he may not be fighting for starting time, but the attacker could see more time than the three appearances and 26 minutes of play he has earned in the first half of the season moving forward.

Scores first goal with City McAtee scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava.
Impact McAtee earned his first goal of the campaign and his young Manchester City career, finding the back of the net in the 74th minute of the win. He did this off of the bench, earning 29 minutes as a substitute. He isn't likely to see much time this season, serving in more of a reserve role and mainly featuring against weaker UCL teams and in Cup matches.

Back with Man City McAtee will return to Manchester City following his loan to Sheffield United.
Impact McAtee has two more years on his City contract, but it'd be a surprise if he found a role in the squad next season. While he had moments for Sheffield United, finishing with three goals and three assists in 30 appearances, he couldn't win an every-match starting role. It seems most likely McAtee will be loaned out once again next season.

Ready to return McAtee (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest, according to manager Chris Wilder.
Impact McAtee is an option for Saturday's clash after missing out against Newcastle. The attacker only missed the single match and the injury isn't expected to be a serious one, so he could be back in the starting XI straight away. McAtee started just one one of the four matches prior to the injury, assisting once in that time.

Out against Magpies McAtee (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Newcastle.
Impact McAtee will not be an option after going down with an undisclosed issue in Wednesday's match against Sheffield United. This is his first game out due to the issues, with his next chance to return against Nottingham Forest on May 4.

Brought off injured McAtee was brought off with an apparent injury late during Wednesday's clash with Manchester United.
Impact McAtee was crucial to everything in the Sheffield United attack and is a tremendous blow moving forward. The hope will be the injury is minor, though Sheffield United's fate is all but sealed so McAtee may not be rushed back at risk of aggravating the injury.

Logs assist in loss McAtee made an assist, had three shots (one on target), created five chances and sent in five crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 4-1 loss against Burnley.
Impact McAtee returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the last two contests and had a nice performance despite being on the losing side, assisting Gustavo Hamer for his team's lone goal and leading all players in chances created. The youngster's campaign, with three goals and three assists over 28 appearances, hasn't been a brilliant one, but he'll hope this performance helps him to remain in the lineup for the upcoming games.

Single shot Thursday McAtee generated one shot (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool.
Impact McAtee opened the match with a dangerous shot inside the first minute but it was well-saved. That would prove to be McAtee's only chance in the match as Liverpool largely dominated from that point on. McAtee will have easier matches to deal with in the coming weeks as this was always going to be a tough clash.

Converts PK versus Luton Town McAtee scored a penalty goal and had two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.
Impact McAtee was having a very quiet performance until the 36th minute, when he stepped up to double his side's lead from the penalty spot. However, the attacker couldn't produce anything noteworthy afterwards and that ultimately led him to be subbed off during the second frame. With two of his three league goals of the season scored over his last three starts, McAtee will try to keep adding to his account during Feb. 18 clash against Brighton.

Option once again McAtee is available for the club's next match on Jan. 21 against West Ham after being sidelined against Manchester City due to his loan lock.
Impact McAtee is back in the mix for the Blades, having been held out last match due to being loan-locked from playing against his parent club, Manchester City. The attacker has moved in and out of the starting XI this season, earning 11 starts in his 15 appearances, so he could move back into a starting role against West Ham. If this is the case, expect McAtee to start in the right-midfielder role, with Jayden Bogle probably moving back to the bench.

Loan locked Saurday McAtee is ineligible to play against Manchester City due to the terms of his loan.
Impact McAtee won't be available for Saturday's clash as he is on loan from Manchester City. The midfielder's absence could potentially prompt a return to a three at the back formation, with Jayden Bogle coming into the starting XI at right wing-back. McAtee will return for a Jan. 21 clash with West Ham.

Picks up assist McAtee picked up one assist from two chances created and attempted six crosses (none accurate) in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat to Luton Town.
Impact McAtee pulled off an impressive assist for Sheffield United's first goal, managing to flick the ball to Oliver McBurnie after being brought down in the penalty area. The winger is playing regular Premier League football for the first time in his career and has one goal and two assists so far this season.

Creates chance McAtee recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact McAtee ran everything positive in the attack Wednesday, though that really wasn't much. The forward put the only shot on target and created the only chance during the loss. This offensive unit isn't exactly inspiring so any sort of spark could keep McAtee in the starting XI for the foreseeable future.

Nets brace with England U21 McAtee (undisclosed) started and scored a brace as England U21 defeated Serbia U21 by a 3-0 score on Saturday.
Impact McAtee got the start for the U21 Three Lions and made his presence felt quickly, netting two goals and lifting the team to an easy win over their Serbian counterpart. He only has one assist in eight appearances (six starts) with Sheffield United during the current Premier League season, but he should push for more minutes if he keeps impressing on the international stage.

Assists on opening goal McAtee assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton.
Impact McAtee set up Cameron Archer, who buried the first goal of the match, giving Sheffield a one-goal lead in the 72nd minute. The assist is only the first of the season for McAtee, who entered the match just before the end of the first half. McAtee also tried two shots in the match but did not hit the target. He has a total of six shots, with two on goal for the season.

Returns to Blades McAtee completed a season-long loan move to Sheffield from Manchester City, the club announced.
Impact McAtee played a major role in getting Sheffield into the Premier League in 2022-23 and now he heads to the Blades to try and keep them up. The midfielder was never likely to see much playing time in the Manchester City first team but should play a major role for Sheffield United after making 37 appearances in 2022-23.

Back with City McAtee will participate in Manchester City's Asian Tour, the club announced Wednesday.
Impact McAtee logged 37 matches (21 starts) for Sheffield United last season, helping them earn promotion by recording nine goals on 43 shots (16 on target), three assists, 47 crosses (10 accurate) and 11 corners. If McAtee does remain with City this season, he likely will face an uphill battle to secure first-team minutes, making him a low-end fantasy target at best.
