Blades' £10 million boost

SHEFFIELD United have announced they have received a £10 million loan from one of plc chairman Kevin McCabe's companies.

The new finance, which has been offered on an unsecured basis, is designed to replace previous bank borrowings and enable the club to continue with plans for an immediate return to the Premiership.

United were relegated in controversial circumstances last season and are suing West Ham football club following the Carlos Tevez affair.
