Blades monitor trialists

Sheffield United featured three trialists in their opening pre-season friendly at Mansfield, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Blades. Athletic Bilbao defender Ander Murillo, Greek defender Theo Berios and former Swansea and Peterborough full-back Tom Williams all started for Kevin Blackwell's side, who went down to a 50th-minute goal from Louis Briscoe, as did new signings Simon Walton, Daniel Bogdanovic and goalkeeper Steve Simonsen. Another trialist, Frenchman Williams Edjenguele, was among the substitutes alongside summer signings Johnny Ertl and Leon Britton.
