Paul Scholes wants Cuti Romero at Manchester United, hails his character

Paul Scholes, legendary former Manchester United footballer, publicly suggested the signing of Cristian Cuti Romero to strengthen the English club’s defense. The former midfielder praised the Argentine center-back, World Cup champion with the national team, and pointed him out as a player with the right profile for the club, where Lisandro Martínez also plays.

“He’s being attacked by the crowd and I think he’s lost his head a bit. But I would love to see him at Manchester United . I love his character,” said the English football legend.

Romero, currently at Tottenham, recently renewed his contract until the end of the 2028/29 season. However, in recent months he made headlines for expressing his discontent with the London club’s management due to the lack of reinforcements in the transfer market. Meanwhile, rumors have emerged from Spain linking him with Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid for next season.

The Argentine defender’s most recent encounter against the Red Devils was last Saturday, on matchday 25 of the Premier League. Tottenham lost 2-0 and Cuti was sent off in the 28th minute of the first half.

In a challenge with Casemiro, the Argentine tried to clear the ball but left his leg raised and ended up stepping on the Brazilian’s ankle. Referee Michael Oliver penalized the foul with a straight red card.

This was Romero’s sixth sending-off since joining the Spurs and his second of the current season. As it was a straight red, he could face a suspension that sidelines him for at least four matches in the domestic league.
