Ex-United defender keeps focus on pro return
Former Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett revealed he turned down Baller League after a phone call left him doubting how it’d affect his professional image. The UK-based league, mixing football, futsal and celebrity fun, kicked off its second season in October.
Blackett, still a free agent after leaving Rotherham in 2024, said he might join one day — but not yet. With rule-twists like offside bans and one‑on‑ones, it’s wild enough that even VAR would need therapy — but Blackett’s keeping it strictly professional for now.
