With there being no football in England at the moment, Leyton Orient have set up the UltimateQuaranTeam FIFA tournament. The tournament is designed to help raise funds for EFL sides who may face serious financial struggles because of the ongoing shutdown.
Sheffield United participated in the tournament but were unfortunately knocked out of the competition after facing VVV Venlo’s representative.
When the club announced this news on their Twitter, fans were upset. Some called for Chris Wilder to be sacked as a result of this shocking cup exit. We expect they are just being ironic in their statements, though.
Embarrassing

Enough is enough. Wilder out!

Will Sheffield United be playing in Europe next season?
Yes
No
What do we think?
Why are we so convinced that the fans were making these comments in jest? Likely because of how brilliant Wilder and Sheffield United have been this season. The Blades are currently in seventh but have an excellent chance of achieving a finish in a European spot come the end of the campaign.
