Man Utd outcast Sergio Romero eyes transfer to MLS after wife’s angry outburst on social media

MANCHESTER UNITED outcast Sergio Romero is eyeing up a move to the MLS following his wife’s angry outburst on social media.

The Argentine stopper, 33, is now third choice at Old Trafford behind Dean Henderson and David De Gea.

For years, Romero has diligently served as United’s reserve and cup goalkeeper.

But now he faces spending the season on the bench with Henderson taking over between the sticks in the Carabao Cup so far this term.

Romero had hoped to leave the club in search of first-team football, but United failed to let him leave in the summer window.

Everton had shown interest in the player to provide competition for under-first Jordan Pickford.

Yet Man Utd decided to keep him at Old Trafford, sparking a furious social media post from his wife.

But Romero hasn’t given up hope of a move and is keen to escape to the US, according to the Daily Mail.

The MLS transfer window is open until October 29, giving Romero – currently at home in Argentina while his future is resolved – three weeks to find a club.

After the full Premier League window closed, Romero’s partner, Eliana Guercio, lashed out at United on Instagram.

Guercio posted: “Sergio Romero worked hard for his club.

“Last trophy they won, they lifted it with him.

“He helped the team reach four finals/semi-finals and then he was on the bench, only to lose them all.

“It is time for them to return the opportunity and let him go.

“RESPECT FOR ONCE!!!!”

But Harry Redknapp hit back at her outburst, saying it’s an issue for the player and manager… not the player’s wife.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp roared: “It’s unbelievable… I’m sure she’s not [happy].

“When he gets his £100,000 a week, she’s quite happy, but other than that…

“It’s scary, isn’t it, really?

“The player has to go in and sit down with the manager and say, ‘look gaffer, I’m not happy. I want to play, I need to go somewhere and be second choice or even No1. Can you let me go?’

“It’s for the player and the manager to sort out, not for his wife to go out on social media… it’s crazy.”
