United's Academy players are preparing to pit their skills against some of the best young talent in the world... and Brazilian legend Pele will be there to watch.

The Reds are one of four sides competing in the three-day Pele Challenge at Sheffield United Academy and kick off their quest for the trophy with a match against the hosts on Tuesday 6 November (12:00 GMT).

Paul McGuinness' side, who have won eight of their last 10 league fixtures, will then face Sao Paulo (Wednesday 7 November, 11:00 GMT) and FC Porto (Thursday 8 November (10:30 GMT).

Pele, regarded by many as the greatest player to ever grace a football pitch, will be in Sheffield to help The Blades launch new exhibitions at the club museum and is expected to watch some of the action.

"Pele will be at some of the games in the tournament," Sheffiled United Academy Director Simon McCabe confirmed, "and we are expecting Sao Paulo to send several members of Brazil's U17 World Cup squad."

A fair few of the kids who played in the World Youth Championship thingy are in our reserves now and won't be playing in this competition.
