Paul Scholes has urged Manchester United to sign Tottenham Hotspur captain Christian Romero, despite the Argentine handing all three points to the Red Devils last weekend.<\/p>\n
Man of the Match<\/p>\n
Romero was arguably the Man of the Match in United\u2019s 2-0 win over Spurs<\/a> on Saturday afternoon \u2013 just for the wrong side.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The 27-year-old defender was given his marching orders by Michael Oliver in the 29th minute at Old Trafford after a reckless challenge on Casemiro<\/a>. Prior to this point, the game was finely poised, with United slightly on top but neither side had yet created a clear chance on goal.<\/p>\n However, not for the first time in his career, and nor will it be the last, Romero\u2019s moment of madness transpired to hand Michael Carrick<\/a>\u2018s side an easy day at the office at the expense of his own.<\/p>\n Well-worked goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes<\/a> put the game to bed, while lifting United to within three points of third-placed Aston Villa and five clear of Liverpool in sixth.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The first goal from the Cameroon<\/a> international, in particular, was excellent as Fernandes found Kobbie Mainoo with a short corner, before the English midfielder flicked it back to the oncoming Mbeumo at the edge of the box to finish with aplomb.<\/p>\n Within the context of the push for Champions League qualification, with fifth enough to secure entry into Europe\u2019s elite competition due to England\u2019s coefficient, it was a huge win \u2013 with Romero playing a pivotal role.<\/p>\n Scholes \u201cloves\u201d Romero<\/p>\n Despite Romero\u2019s costly mistake, Scholes maintains he \u201cloves\u201d the Argentina international as a player, believing the United dressing room would benefit from his \u201ccharacter\u201d.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
