Sheffield United in line for Cristiano Ronaldo clash as Blades explore pre-season clash options

This summer, Sheffield United could see footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in person as the Blades are considering a friendly

matchup with Al-Nassr of Portugal. The Blades’ current preseason campaign, which begins away at York City on Tuesday, is likely to

be expanded.

As they continue to get ready for the next Championship season, the Blades will also play teams like Burton, Chesterfield, and

Rotherham United. Before their season opening on August 9 against Bristol City, however, they might have another date set in stone.

The Saudi Arabian team is one possible 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.

Since Bramall Lane’s field hasn’t been relaid and other stadium improvements are ongoing during the summer, we hear that the game

won’t be played on home soil.
