Summary

- Early goals from Femi Seriki and Sam McCallum sealed the victory.
- The match concluded a productive warm-weather training camp abroad.
Sheffield United ended their week-long training camp in Spain with a 2-1 friendly victory against Levante. The team achieved this win in a behind-closed-doors match held in Valencia.
Early goals in the first half from Femi Seriki and Sam McCallum put Sheffield United in a commanding position. Seriki opened the scoring after a defence-splitting pass from Baptiste, while McCallum doubled the lead with a header from a set-piece.
Manager Chris Wilder made wholesale changes at halftime, allowing 22 players to gain valuable match minutes. This strategy is crucial for building fitness ahead of the new Championship campaign.
The Blades now return to South Yorkshire, shifting focus to their next pre-season fixture. They will host Huddersfield Town in another behind-closed-doors match on Tuesday afternoon. This continued preparation aims to fine-tune performances as the competitive season approaches.
