Sergio Romero is reportedly set for a medical with Manchester United, while Ajax manager concedes that it would be hard to retain Jasper Cillessen if the Red Devils come for him.
Manchester United have been involved in a dramatic transfer battle with Real Madrid over David De Gea and Sergio Ramos this summer. The Spanish giants are determined to make De Gea their new No.1, while United are unwilling to let go of him without getting Sergio Ramos in return. While that soap opera continues in the background, United are preparing for life without De Gea.
The Red Devils have been linked with both Jasper Cillessen and Sergio Romero this summer. Moreover with Victor Valdes seemingly on his way out of Old Trafford, United might very well need two custodians this summer. Trusting the likes of Ander Lindegaard and Sam Johnstone, who started in Uniteda s opening pre-season fixture, remain the other options available for Louis van Gaal.
