Man Utd ace causing 'conflict' at Old Trafford after Ed Woodward decision
Manchester United chief Ed Woodward had some big decisions to make in the summer transfer window.
Man Utd: Solskjaer says 'anything can happen' in the title race
Manchester United outcast Sergio Romero is said to be causing a "conflict" at the club after failing to get his move away in the summer transfer window. Romero has proven to be top second-choice goalkeeper throughout his time at Old Trafford.
He joined United in 2015 with the knowledge that he was coming in as back up to David De Gea.
But Romero has proven to be more than capable of stepping in when called upon and has an impressive record.
Just last season, he kept an impressive 12 clean sheets in 17 appearances in all competitions.
But Dean Henderson's return to the club has dropped Romero down the pecking order at United this season.

It was clear early in the summer transfer window that Henderson would stay at Old Trafford to fight with De Gea for the No 1 spot.
And Romero was desperate to find a new club, with a move to the MLS touted as a possibility.
But the 33-year-old was unable to force through a move away and now has to wait until January to try again.
And El Intransigente now reports Romero is at loggerheads with United chiefs after failing to get him the move he wanted.

United's asking price is said to have been too high for potential suitors, with Everton also considering a move.
The report adds that Romero was in negotiations to join David Beckham's MLS franchise, Inter Miami, but no agreement was made.
Romero has not featured in any matchday ine-up for United this season having been omitted from the 25-man Premier League squad.
Incredibly, Romero was reportedly not even told that he had been left out of the squad.
The shot-stopper is said to have found out the news like other United fans did on social media.
But speaking on Friday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that Romero's United career may not be over just yet along with Phil Jones, who was similarly left out of both squads.
“Well, Sergio [Romero] has just come back into training this week, so he’s started his pre-season work and is working to get to his peak fitness with the goalkeepers,” Solskjaer said.
“Phil has been injured and had an operation and working really hard to be back, hopefully he’ll get fit in December, when you’re injured you can’t get into the squad, he’s working really diligently and he’ll be coming back soon.”
