Sheffield United in line for Cristiano Ronaldo clash as Blades explore pre-season clash options
Sheffield United could come face-to-face with footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, with the Blades exploring the possibility of a friendly clash with the Portuguese’s Al-Nassr. The Blades are looking to add to their existing pre-season campaign, which kicks off on Tuesday away at York City.
The Blades are also set to face the likes of Rotherham United, Chesterfield and Burton as they continue their preparations for the new Championship season. But there could be another date inked into their calendar before August 9’s season opener against Bristol City, with the Saudi Arabian club one potential opponent.
No concrete agreement has yet been reached and as such the date and venue of the potential clash is not set in stone, but it would be an eye-catching game for the Blades as they could come up against the 40-year-old for the first time since the 2006/07 season when he was at Manchester United.
