Sergio Romero eyes Old Trafford return

According to Manchester Evening News, the 35-year-old is looking to rejoin the Red Devils for a second spell.

The development comes at a time United are hunting for a backup goalkeeper for David de Gea, with the club's second-choice goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, projected to join Nottingham Forest on loan.

It is understood the former Sampdoria ace is more than willing to reunite with the Red Devils, with a close to the goalkeeper claiming that Romero 'would always come back' to Old Trafford if an opportunity presented itself.

Despite his bitter exit from the Premier League club, Dail Mail reports that the Argentinian still holds a lot of love towards United.

Romero made 61 appearances for the Ten Hag-tutored side, with the majority of those fixtures coming in cup matches.
