English press criticises Cuti Romero after Spurs lose to Man United | OneFootball

Cristian Romero was the main focus of criticism in England following Tottenham's 2-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford, during matchday 25 of the Premier League. The Argentine defender was sent off 29 minutes into the first half, and various media outlets pointed to him as responsible for the result.

The red card came after a foul on Casemiro and affected the course of the game. The incident occurred in a particular context, marked by the controversy Romero himself had generated days earlier by publicly questioning the club's management regarding the transfer market and the lack of options in the squad.

The Athletic was one of the harshest media outlets in its analysis, focusing on his role within the team. “Everyone recognizes that he is one of the best players in the squad, but he lacks the tactical and emotional discipline necessary to be an effective captain,” the specialized outlet published.

Similarly, Football Transfers directly blamed the Argentine for the team's defeat and described his sending off as decisive for the outcome of the match. There were also criticisms from television broadcasts: Ally McCoist, on TNT Sports, considered the foul unnecessary, while Paul Merson, on Sky Sports, stated that the sending off was crucial to the defeat.

The episode also reignited rumors about his future. Despite having a contract with Tottenham until June 2029, in England, Romero was once again linked with potential interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Manchester United itself, ahead of the next transfer window.
