David Beckham wants to bring Sergio Romero to Inter Miami
A report by The Athletic (h/t Mirror) states that former Manchester United player David Beckham wants to bring Sergio Romero to Inter Miami in the MLS.
Beckham is a part-owner of the Miami-based MLS side and wishes to use his United connections to add players to his side.
And now, his club is linked with signing United’s out-of-favour Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero. Joining Old Trafford more than 5 years ago, he has only made 61 appearances for the club.
Things have worsened for the 33-year-old. He was omitted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from United’s Premier League and Champions League squads this season.

This means he is free to enter agreements with foreign clubs in January over a free transfer in the summer. However, United can use the option to extend his contract by 12 months as they don’t want to lose him on a free.
The club even rejected a £2million earlier this season from Everton as they did not want to strengthen a Premier League rival.
Still the club is open to selling the shot-stopper but want some fee for him. The Argentine had joined United from Sampdoria in 2015 on a free transfer.
One hurdle that can stand in the way of Inter Miami signing Romero could be his massive £100,000-a-week wages.

It is clear that Romero is not in United’s future plans. He has not featured in a league game for the club since playing in the 1-0 win over Watford on the last day of the 2017/18 season.
After Solskjaer getting his hands on the returning Dean Henderson from Sheffield United, there seems to be no way back into the United first-team picture for Romero.
