Correspondent: Manchester United are preparing an offer for Spurs star

Correspondent Gastón Edul understands that Manchester United are preparing an offer for Tottenham. One might imagine half the fan base will be rejoicing whilst the other half sobs mournfully into its lunchtime bagel.

It is a challenge to recall a player who has so forcefully divided opinion at Spurs, as Cristian Romero has.

Opinion amongst United fans is on a par with that of those cheering the Lilywhites, as a brief peek at RedCafe.net, the Red Devils fan forum, proved this morning.

No thanks. Stinking attitude and can barely stay on the pitch.

I mean he's a fantastic CB when he plays but the attitude and disciplinary record....woof. It's a no from me, dawg...we have bigger fish to fry.

Big no. Obviously capable, but there are many better and a liability in his habit of picking up cards. Sense a general arrogance with him too that is not justified so not good for team building.

Strongly suspect De Zerbi has worked out he needs to replace him, hence Senesi and the interest in Van Hecke.

The tone is pretty much unequivocal across the many pages over there from those who felt encouraged to leave a reaction.

Yes, he’s a good player on his day, but no, thanks very much, and here are many reasons why not.

Who is Gastón Edul?

Gastón Edul works as a correspondent, analyst, and sideline reporter for TyC Sports. He gained prominence for his on-the-ground reporting during major tournaments, including the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and the 2024 Copa América.

In short, he’s one of the leading young voices in Argentine football journalism, especially recognised for his close access to the national team and high engagement with fans online.

In my view, it strikes me that it would be easier to sell him abroad. Nearer to wherever the Argentine national team are playing!
