Sheffield United fans are refusing to believe the rumours that they are interested in Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery.

German news outlet Kicker (June 13, 8:00AM) have reported that the Yorkshire club are set to make a stunning swoop for the former France international, but supporters are having a hard time buying it.

Ribery finished in third place in the Ballon d’Or voting back in 2013, and his arrival at Bramall Lane would certainly be a statement of intent from Chris Wilder’s side.

The winger has been regarded as one of the most talented footballers of his generation, but now aged 36 it could be time for him to join a smaller club.

The free agent has never played in the Premier League and it isn’t too farfetched to believe he would want to try his hand in England’s top flight.

It remains to be seen whether he will join the Blades or not, but if he does it would be a shock for the fanbase.
