MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper Sergio Romero is reportedly fuming with the club after they blocked a potential move to Everton.
The Toffees were keen to bring in the Argentine shot-stopper on loan to provide competition for Jordan Pickford, but the Red Devils rejected their approach.

Romero – who has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford – has fallen down the pecking order following Dean Henderson’s return.
And the 33-year-old is understood to have been desperate to compete for regular first team football having not featured in the Premier League since the 2017-18 season.
According to The Athletic, Everton had a £2million loan offer turned down for the ex-Samporia star.
The Merseyside outfit were even prepared to cover his £100,000-a-week wages, but United are seeking £8m in order to get Romero off their books.
His failed transfer has away has angered Romero, with the shot-stopper also furious having not been told he would be omitted from United’s Champions League squad.
Lee Grant was included instead as the club’s third-choice – showing further proof he has no future at the Theatre of Dreams.
Having been part of the squad since 2015, Romero’s wife Eliana slammed United on Instagram last week stating he deserves more respect.
She wrote: “Sergio Romero worked hard for his club.

“Last trophy they won, they lifted it with him.
“He helped the team reach four finals/semi-finals and then he was on the bench, only to lose them all.
“It is time for them to return the opportunity and let him go. RESPECT FOR ONCE!!!! [sic].”
ESPN have stated that even United players have expressed their disappointment to the way their team-mate has been treated.
A move to the MLS could still be on the horizon with a number of clubs believed to be keen on signing him ahead of their October 29 deadline.
