Manchester United are being linked with released Sampdoria goalkeeper Sergio Romero.

Romero is a free agent after coming off contract with Samp last month.

Gazzetta dello Sport says United and Roma are in contact with Romero's camp.

The Italians are expected to win the race, offering a two-year contract.

The Giallorossi are looking for an heir to Morgan De Sanctis, who is expected to retire next summer.
