Man United to use Sergio Romero in Jack Grealish deal?

Manchester United could offer Sergio Romero to Aston Villa as part of a move for English attacker Jack Grealish, according to a report.

Manchester United could reportedly offer Sergio Romero to Aston Villa as part of a move for Jack Grealish.

Romero's future at Old Trafford continues to be called into question, with Leeds United, Everton and Chelsea all said to be interested in signing the Argentina international this summer.

The 33-year-old is likely to seek pastures new ahead of the 2020-21 campaign as Dean Henderson's return from a loan spell at Sheffield United will push him further down the pecking order.

According to the Daily Mail, United could use the South American in an attempt to land Grealish, who is thought to be a leading target for the 20-time English champions.

The 24-year-old excelled for Dean Smith's side during the 2019-20 season, scoring 10 times and providing eight assists in 41 appearances in all competitions and playing a key role in keeping them in the top flight.

The playmaker, who has a contract at Villa Park until June 2023, is also believed to be attracting the interest of Manchester City.
