In March 2006, Lucketti joined Sheffield United for the remainder of the 2005–06 season,[6] making three first-team appearances before signing a one-year deal on 1 June 2006 with the Blades with both clubs agreeing to a fee of £250,000.

Under the terms of his loan deal he was eligible to play in the final game of the season between Sheffield United and Southampton, a match which both sides desperately needed to win to try to finish in the play-offs and to avoid relegation respectively,[12] but Lucketti opted to declare himself unavailable for the match to avoid a conflict of interests.
