Manchester United are considering a surprise move to make a bid for Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero.
The defender apologized to his teammates after receiving a red card at Old Trafford last season.
Speculation is swirling around Romero, who is linked with a move away from Spurs this summer.
Spanish clubs Barcelona and Atletico are interested in the transfer, according to Manchester Evening News.
But domestic media are suggesting that Man United could potentially be the dark horse and are “preparing an offer” for the centre-back, the outlet added, citing Argentine sports journalist Gastón Edul.
United head coach Michael Carrick is on a mission to revamp his squad ahead of the new season after taking over as manager.
United are preparing to return to the Champions League in the 2026/27 season.
One move, if it materializes, would establish a partnership with his Argentine teammate Lisandro Martinez.
Both players were on the roster for the fast-approaching 2026 FIFA World Cup.
If Romero ends up signing with Man Utd, he will hope not to bring back the bad old days of his last season.
For the unaware, back in February, the 28-year-old received a red card in the 29th minute of the game for a challenge on Casemiro.
The Reds took advantage of the extra man, scoring goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes, winning the match 2-0.
