Blades bidder puts up rescue cash

PROSPECTIVE Sheffield United owner Dozy Mmobuosi has provided an eight-figure cash injection to stave off the threat of administration.

The Nigerian, who made his fortune in technology and co-founded Tingo Mobile, now valued at around £6billion, is hopeful of completing a £90m takeover of the club from Prince Abdullah in the coming weeks.

Sportsmail understands that given the club’s perilous finances, Mmobuosi has committed to funding them ahead of time as Paul heckingbottom’s side strive for promotion back to the Premier League.
