SHEFFIELD, England - Veteran Chinese international Hao Haidong is set to move to English soccer with Sheffield United.The Blades have offered the forward a 2 1/2-year contract after he was released by his Chinese club, Dalian Shide. ``He is still playing in the Chinese team and he's a big tough lad who will do well,'' said Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock, whose club is in fifth place in the second, or Championship, division. ``He is going to come initially as a player but he will do some coaching work for us and will eventually return to China with our academy. ``We are going into (the Chinese market) in quite a big way,'' Warnock said on Thursday. ``We already have an academy there and we are always looking to see what we can do over there.''
