Image for Sheffield United: Fans react to Ronaldo Vieira claims

Sheffield United fans have been reacting to claims surrounding a potential move for Ronaldo Vieira.

A report in The Athletic has claimed that Slavisa Jokanovic’s men are one of a number of clubs that have been offered the chance to sign him this summer, although whether or not it would be a loan deal or a permanent one has not been revealed.

Merseyside derby, Liverpool and Everton

Who scored the opening goal in Liverpool's 4-3 win over Leeds United at Anfield in September?

The former Leeds United man moved to Serie A side Sampdoria in 2018 in a reported £6.2m move, and spent last season on loan at Hellas Verona, although had his time there extremely limited due to a number of injury issues, and even before that, hadn’t had the best of times since moving away, failing to break a 6.5 average score on WhoScored whilst in Italy.

News of the proposed move was relayed to fans by @The_Bladesman, where it was met with rather mixed reviews, with those against the idea put off by his constant injury issues:

“Football manager gem when he was at Leeds”

“No thanks!!”
“I’d take him”
“We’ve got enough injured players already thank you very much”
“Didn’t we have enough injured players last season? No thanks”
“Exactly the kind of player we need. Adds some energy into the midfield”

Will Sheffield United win promotion next season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Central midfield may be a position that needs addressing this summer, although whether or not they decide to fix it with Vieira or someone else, we’ll just have to wait and see.
