EPL: Goalkeeper set to leave Man Utd after 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace

 

Manchester United goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, could be on his way out of the club.

The UK Mirror reports Valencia are pushing to sign the 33-year-old, who was dropped entirely for United’s 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Spanish side are believed to have contacted the Red Devils and are willing to pay around £6million for Romero.


Romero faces slipping down the pecking order to number three, after Dean Henderson’s return to Old Trafford.

Henderson, who was on the bench for the Palace game, is seen as United’s future number one.

Romero has been number two to David De Gea for the past five years, since his arrival on a free transfer from Italian side Sampdoria in 2015.


The South American star has played only seven League games for United in his time at the club, accepting his chances would be few and far between as he played an understudy role to De Gea.

Romero was happy to stay at United on the understanding he would be the club’s cup goalkeeper outside of Premier League and Champions League games.

But it’s believed he felt aggrieved by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to go with De Gea for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea and the Europa League semi-final against Seville.
