Man United transfer news: Sergio Romero to Aston Villa?

Reports from Athletic have linked Sergio Romero to Aston Villa as goalkeeper prepares for his Man United exit. Romero was often used in cup competitions and has mainly been an understudy to David de Gea in recent seasons. However, Romero was left unhappy with way he was shunned by Solskjaer when Man United qualified for semi-finals of Europa League and FA Cup, after regularly starting in all previous games in both competitions. Solskjaer opted to start with De Gea in goal as Man United were eliminated from both tournaments in semi-finals.

More so, arrival of Dean Henderson at Old Trafford means that Romero's opportunities at Man United might become even more limited. However, Aston Villa are 'interested' in signing Romero this summer. Tom Heaton's injury is expected to keep Englishman out of action until October and Villans have identified Romero as man to fill in between sticks. Man United though, are willing to part with Romero only if Villa pay a fee in region of  £8m-£10m. Carlo Ancelotti's Everton are also linked with a move for Romero but it's unlikely that Toffees will spend that sum on a goalkeeper. Romero is currently on £120,000-a-week contract at Man United but is expected to take a significant pay cut if he moves to Aston Villa.
