Transfer: Scholes names EPL star better than Maguire, De Ligt Man United should sign

Former Manchester United player Paul Scholes has suggested the English Premier League club should sign Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur during the upcoming transfer window. Romero, who celebrated his 28th birthday in April, is reportedly seeking a move away from Tottenham despite his contract's validity until June 2029.

The former deep-lying playmaker believes that the club, currently led by manager Michael Carrick, needs another centre-back to strengthen their defense. Scholes noted that Romero could potentially be a better option than Manchester United's own defenders, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt. He acknowledged Romero's fiery temperament and disciplinary problems but argued that the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner possesses the necessary qualities to become a top centre-back under Carrick's management.

Romero has scored 13 goals in 156 appearances for Tottenham since joining in 2021 and has accumulated 44 yellow cards, including six dismissals during his time at the club.
