Newcastle's Butt on way to Sheffield Utd


Newcastle midfielder Nicky Butt is on the verge of a £500,000 move to promoted Sheffield United.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder, 31, was on loan at relegated Birmingham last season.
He is in the last year of his contract with the Toon - where he made just 25 first-team starts following a £2.5m move in July 2004.
Butt will now pick up a £20,000-a-week deal with the Blades.
