      Meet Man Utd star Romero’s Wag Eliana, who blasted the club after his transfer to Everton fell through

      by

      SHOULD Man Utd star Sergio Romero need a new agent, he could look no further than his Wag.
      The Argentine shotstopper, 33, reportedly had his heart set on a move to Everton on transfer deadline day.

      However, the Red Devils are believed to have blocked the deal – and Everton signed Robin Olsen from Roma instead.
      And that left Eliana Guercio, 42, furious. She immediately took to Instagram and demanded respect for her husband.
      She wrote: “Last trophy they won, they lifted it with him. He helped the team reach 4 finals/semifinals and then he was left on the bench only to lose them all.
      “It is time for them to return the opportunity and let him go. RESPECT FOR ONCE!!!!!”

      But who is the fiery blonde sticking for her man?

      SHE’S GLAM
      Over the years Eliana was a men’s lifestyle magazine staple, appearing in many underwear and bikini shoots in South America.
      She has also starred on TV in Argentina – most notably in “Más que diferente”, appearing fully nude on the show.
      Eliana and Sergio met in 2008 and instantly fell in love.

      Within seven months, pair married – and they have three children together, Jazmin, Chloe and Meghan.
      RIHANNA
      According to reports, pop star and football-fan Rihanna had a crush on Romero before the 2014 World Cup.

      Before the 2014 World Cup Rihanna reportedly revealed she fancied Romero

      12

      Eliana didn’t feel threatened and said if Argentina win the World Cup she would lend Romero to Rihanna for a week
      Any normal wife would have been horrified that the gorgeous singer may have declared an interest in their husband – but not Eliana.
      She even joked that she would lend Romero to the Barbadian beauty, if Argentina won the World Cup!
      “If we win the World Cup, I will let her have him for a week,” she said.
      NOSY NEIGHBOURS
      Keeping in line with her tempestuous nature, Eliana wasn’t afraid to blast her neighbours in Manchester, who took offence to a playground installed in the backyard of their £2.8million home.
      Neighbours believed it was an eyesore and distracted passing drivers because it was too big.
      Eliana said she can’t understand what all the fuss is about.
      She told Caras: “Where we put up the playground is part of our house, I don’t understand why the neighbours got annoyed.
      “You can’t see the place where we put it, and besides, as soon as we put it up we went away for two months.

      12

      Eliana has a fiery temperament as her neighbours can testify

      12

      Neighbours were left fuming that a playground similar to this one was installed in the Romeros home

      12

      Guercio snapped back and said the playground wasn’t an eyesore

      12

      Eliana is not a woman to be messed with

      “We came to Argentina, afterwards we went to the beach and afterwards when we returned, the girls went back to school.
      “After 4pm, it’s already cold, so the girls don’t go out in the garden.”
      Word of warning, this is one lady you don’t want to get on her bad side.

      And the pair are now making their move to Manchester.

      Violinist João Pedro Gregol played and sang at the occasion before Priscila walked down the aisle.
      And at the wedding party afterwards, Telles serenaded his wife in song.
      The full-back will be hoping that United fans take to him and serenade him with a tune or two.

      Meet Spurs target Milik’s model Wag Jessica, who he chatted up in a shopping centre when she was 16 and out with her mum

      by

      IT was love at first sight for Spurs target Arkadiusz Milik when he first clapped eyes on future fiancee Jessica Ziolek.
      The Napoli hitman, who was an aspiring teenage footballer in Poland at the time, spied the 25-year-old beauty in a shopping centre and knew he had to make his move.

      Undeterred by the presence of then-16-year-old Jessica’s mum on the scene, Milik casually asked the stunner for her number.
      But Ziolek, playing hard to get, initially joked he should find her on Facebook.
      SHOPPING AROUND
      When 17-year-old Milik went to a Polish shopping centre, he never would’ve imagined he’d be shopping for a future wife.
      However, he spotted Ziolek when she was searching for a gift for her sister’s husband in the men’s department, and couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

      “At one point, my mum noticed that a certain boy was watching me all the time,” Ziolek told Viva!
      “‘Mum, leave me alone!’ I said at first. Then the mysterious man came up and asked for my phone number.
      “As a rule, I do not give my number to strangers, I said teasingly that he could find me on Facebook.”

      HE HAD TO WAIT FOR HER
      In 2013, Milik and Ziolek were forced to live apart when he signed for German side Bayer Leverkusen.

      Her family believed it was important she stayed in Poland to finish her studies.
      “I wanted to do it (move) earlier, because I knew that my place was with him,” she told Gala in 2018.
      “But my mother told me to stay in Poland and pass my secondary school-leaving examination.”
      Six months later the two were reunited.
      SHE’S IN FASHION
      Ziolek has modelled for fashion campaigns in Poland and Italy.
      But now she’s a designer in her own right, having launched the Wild Mascot clothing brand in 2019.
      And it can be found in prestigious boutiques in Italy too.

      Ziolek’s designs are sold in the Michele Franzese boutiques, alongside fashion giants like Yves Saint Laurent.
      If she moves to North London, there’s plenty of trendy boutiques here that could stock her clothes.
      Maybe she’ll get fellow Spurs Wags to model it too.

      Man Utd wonderkid Joe Hugill, aged 16, is 6ft 2in striker who plays like Kane and scored winning pen in EFL Trophy win

      by

      MESSI, Salah, Maradona… Joe Hugill is in good company.
      Like those star forwards, the Manchester United wonderkid is blessed with a magical left foot capable of hurting the opposition.

      It’s why the Red Devils paid Sunderland £300,000 for the 16-year-old back in the summer.
      Hugill impressed with United’s U21 team in Tuesday’s EFL Trophy win over Rochdale, coming close when he hit the woodwork and scoring the winning penalty (with his right foot) in a shootout after the sides drew 0-0 after 90 minutes.
      The 6ft 2in frame showed he is a capable target man – as comfortable receiving the ball on the deck as he is leaping for a long ball in the air.
      Here’s why the Old Trafford hierarchy moved quick to secure Hugill’s services in the summer, beating off competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.

      A TRUE MACKEM
      Born and bred in Sunderland, Hugill spent his entire youth career at his boyhood club.
      In recent years, the Black Cats have produced an incredible array of talent.
      England goalie Jordan Pickford and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson have risen to the top after coming through the ranks in the North East.
      Josh Maja made waves in the Sunderland first team before he was signed by Bordeaux, where he is thriving in France.

      And Sam Greenwood earned rave reviews for Arsenal’s youth sides, after joining the Gunners in 2018 from the EFL League One side, and recently earned a £3million move to Leeds United.
      Like those mentioned, Hugill shone at the ‘Academy of Light’, playing for both the U18s and U23s.
      TECHNICALLY SOUND
      First thing you’ll notice about Hugill’s game is his touch.
      When the ball is played to feet it sticks, and he’s able to bring others into the game with his link-up play.
      But there’s also goals to his game too.
      On his Premier League 2 debut, with Sunderland rock bottom of the table, he scored twice against West Ham in a 4-2 defeat.
      Hugill also scored a hat-trick against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Youth Cup – alerting scouts to his abilities.

      Although more slight in build, he has been compared to England hotshot Harry Kane in terms of his style of play.
      He’s not blessed with pace, but he certainly knows where the goal is.
      UNITED’S YOUTH PUSH
      Hugill is seen as one for the future by Nicky Butt, now head of first team development, but was formerly overseeing their youth set-up.

      The graduate of the ‘Class of ’92’ oversaw the arrivals of Tahith Chong, Charlie McCann, France youth stars Aliou Traore and Hannibal Mejbri, Arnau Puigmal, and Largie Ramazani in that role, until Nick Cox took over the reigns last year.
      And with his recommendation, Hugill was added to that list of promising youngsters.
      Perhaps the class of 2020 can be just as impressive as Beckham, the Nevilles, Scholes and Co in years to come.
