David McGoldrick has received a vote of confidence from club boss Chris Wilder after his goal drought continued on Sunday.
The veteran Ireland striker hasn't scored for Sheffield United since April and spurned several chances in the 1-1 draw at Wolves last weekend.
But Wilder, who has masterminded an impressive start to the club's Premier League return this season, insists that McGoldrick is worth his weight in gold - if not goals.
"I had five minutes with David in the dressing room, away from everyone else, and told him how key he is for us," explained Wilder.
"He wants to get one, of course he does, but we play better with David in the team and the partnership between him and Lys (Mousset) is very important for us at this moment in time. Make no mistake about that.
"When David came off, because of a change we wanted to make, I didn't hear anyone in our crowd sounding pleased.
"In fact, they were chanting and singing his name all the way through.
"That shows you what they think of him and everyone knows what we think of him as well.
"He's a terrific player for us. Looking at the bigger picture, which you have to do, he brings so much to the table".
