Sheffield United have apologised after their X account was hacked on Monday, with a number of offensive and derogatory posts sent out.

Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan was targeted in several of the hacked messages.

They have since regained access to their profile and all posts have subsequently been deleted.

“The club would like to apologise to anyone offended by what the hackers posted to our page; these posts do not represent the views of anyone at Sheffield United,” they said.

The Blades play Sunderland in the Championship play-off final on Saturday.
