Stags knocked the Blades out of the competition in the fourth round, having gone 4-1 up after 57 minutes. United pushed hard to get back into the game but were unable to find an equaliser as the score ended 4-3 in favour of Nigel Clough’s side. The Stags boss is ready to face the Blades again just seven months after their last meeting. “It’s a challenging one to start the season,” Clough said. “You do look at the quality of their squad with the likes of Patrick Bamford and Gustavo Hamer, who was excellent against us and put a fantastic goal in the FA Cup last season. I think they’ll still have memories of that as well, so they will have that in mind. “The timing of the competition means everyone will play close to the full team this weekend as they build up to the first league game, so that’s what we’re anticipating from Sheffield United.” Mansfield Town vs Sheffield United date and kick-off time The two sides will get their Carabao Cup campaigns underway on Sunday, August 9th at the One Call Stadium.
