Salford Red Devils' Marc Sneyd dreaming of reaching Old Trafford final at fourth attempt

Die-hard Manchester United fan Marc Sneyd is trying not to imagine what it would be like to walk out at Old Trafford for Salford.

The prolific scrum-half knows that will finally happen if the Red Devils can stun champions St Helens on Saturday. Sneyd, 31, has cruelly been on the losing side in THREE Super League semi-finals with Hull. But after joining Salford this term, he’s now hoping to at last head down the road to the Theatre of Dreams as a player and not just a fan.

“I'm trying my best not to think about it as obviously it’s a huge task this weekend,” said the Oldham-born schemer. “But obviously in the back of my head it’s a dream to play there and has been for as long as I can remember. We’ll wait and see until after Saturday and then maybe I can start getting a little more excited. I genuinely couldn’t tell you how many semis I’ve been in.
