Mauro Icardi set to head to Sheffield United

Sheffield United have remarkably announced they will play a friendly against Inter Milan later in this month and the Sheffield Star reports that the Italian side are also expected to bring a strong squad over to play the Blades at the end of July.

The likes of Mauro Icardi and Radja Nainggolan are reportedly set to visit Bramall Lane later this month in a friendly that is likely to attract a huge crowd as the Italian side travel to Sheffield United to play a huge friendly match that will be exciting for all Blades fans in the Steel City and great for South Yorkshire in general.

With Championship side facing up against Champions League opposition, Blades boss Chris Wilder spoke to the Sheffield Star and said the follow quotes:

“We are delighted to welcome one of the world’s best club teams to the Lane,”

“Hosting Inter promises to be a fantastic evening and a great test for us in our preparations. That’s our schedule ironed out and without doubt this is the highlight of what will be a very beneficial run of friendlies.”

Inter Milan are set to play the likes of Chelsea, Athletico Madrid Lyon in their pre-season schedule so the idea of the Italian side traveling to South Yorkshire seems rather bizarre but nonetheless is an incredible coup for a Football League side.

Sheffield United have also got some pre-season fixtures against football league opposition with the Blades taking on Bradford City, Mansfield and Doncaster Rovers in order to prepare for the new Championship season.
