Manchester United were one of three clubs that were interested in g Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero over the summer. 

Cristian Romero Was Targeted By United In Summer 2m104c

As well as Real Madrid and PSG, Manchester United showed a huge interest in the World Cup winning defender, who has been excellent since his move to the Premier League.

He formed a strong partnership with Micky van de Ven last season as the pair helped Spurs to a fifth place finish, qualifying for the Europa League. The best football betting sites have the club as 9/2 favourites to lift the trophy.

Despite the interest, Ange Postecoglou informed Spurs’ hierarchy that his vice-captain must not be sold. The club refused to enter any negotiations, not even putting a price on the Argentina international.

United boss Erik ten Hag was keen to strengthen his backline in the summer, doing so in the end by bringing in fellow Dutchman Matthijs De Ligt. 18-year-old Leny Yoro also arrived at Old Trafford.

It is believed that the Red Devils may go in for Romero again next summer, when he has just two years remaining on his deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 26-year-old has been highly thought of by United for a number of years now, and they were interested in recruiting him back in 2021. Romero was named as the best defender in Serie A while on loan at Atalanta. Despite their desires to sign Romero that summer, they chose Rafael Varane from Real Madrid instead.
