Mulgrew set to join Sheffield United
Published: 12/06/2010
ABERDEEN defender Charlie Mulgrew is expected to seal his departure from Pittodrie next week when he signs for Sheffield United.
The former Scotland under-21 international has verbally agreed a three-year deal with the English Championship club and will complete the formalities upon his return from holiday in Turkey.
Mulgrew, who joined the Dons from Wolves two years ago, has offers from other clubs in England, Brentford and Huddersfield, as well as Portuguese club Maritimo, but has decided to link-up with Blades manager Kevin Blackwell following the offer of a three-year contract.
Blackwell said: “He is a player we are interested in but it is at a delicate stage.
“He has been on our radar for a while, although his agent is talking to other clubs.”
Aberdeen have added another fixture to their pre-season campaign.
The Dons will head to Glebe Park to face Brechin City in the David Will memorial match on Tuesday, August 3 (kick-off 7.45pm).
Mark McGhee’s men face Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Dunfermline before heading for a week in England from July 23 where they will play against Tamworth, Port Vale and Brighton and Hove Albion.
They return to the north-east ahead of the Scottish Premier League kick off on August 14.

I wonder if he'll be a centre half or left back, or bench warmer of course.
