15 football stars with famous dads as Sheff Utd hand deal to son of Man Utd legend - gallery

There are a whole host of players that are following in the footsteps of their fathers by forging a career in football.

Sheffield United have handed deals to a whole host of promising youngsters - and there is one Blades prospect looking to follow in the footsteps of a genuine Premier League legend.

The likes of Oliver Arblaster, Sydie Peck and Femi Seriki have all made an impact at senior level over the last 12 months and the Blades are already looking towards their new crop of youngsters after confirming some big decisions over their futures.

Amongst those that will step into the Under-21 setup after completing scholarships is Zach Giggs, son of Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs. The former Wales international racked up 34 major honours during a career entirely spent at Old Trafford and established himself as a true Premier League great.

But Blades youngter Giggs is far from the only player looking to follow the same route as his footballing father.
