Buttering him up? Man United star hails Lionel Messi as transfer speculation grows

DREAM SIGNING: Could Messi join United?

As Starsport revealed this week, Messi is considering leaving Barca for the Premier League at the end of the season.

It is understood the 28-year-old would make the marquee move to England if a club offered him a staggering £600,000-a-week deal.

United, as well as City, Arsenal and Chelsea, are keen on the four-time World Footballer of the Year.

Now Messi’s Argentina colleague Romero has hailed the little master.

When asked to pick the team-mates and opponents he rates highest in certain skills, Romero couldn’t help but drop Messi’s name on a number of occasions.

"The quickest player has to be Lionel Messi," the stopper told United’s official website.

BIG FAN: Romero hailed Messi

"I think he has shown over all these years with Barcelona and in the Argentinian national team just how quick he is with the ball at his feet.

"Thank goodness I’ve always played in the same team as him and I've never had to line up against him because he’s a very difficult opponent to stop."

And when asked who the best passer is, Romero replied: "Messi. Without a doubt!"
