Scholes urges Man Utd to hijack Romero transfer

According to Mirror Football, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged his former club to hijack Cristian Romero's expected departure from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

The former midfielder's advice comes with a typically blunt caveat, as he reportedly admitted fans "might laugh" at his suggestion while describing the Argentine defender as an "absolute clown" for his on-field antics.

Romero is understood to be set to leave Spurs in the upcoming transfer window, and Scholes believes United should move swiftly to secure his signature despite the colourful description. The 27-year-old has been a key figure for Tottenham, though his aggressive style has often divided opinion.

The Mirror reports that Scholes is keen to see United strengthen at the back, and sees Romero as a player who could add both quality and character to the dressing room. It remains to be seen whether the club will act on the advice.

For now, United supporters can weigh the prospect of Romero's arrival while highlights from both sides' recent matches remain available on this site.
