Romero proves his worth in Europa final

Argentine goalkeeper had six starts in two years

Last updated:

Stockholm: Sergio Romero has spent large parts of his club career sitting on the bench but after helping Manchester United win the Europa League, he believes he has shown he is good enough to be the club’s number one goalkeeper.

The Argentina No. 1 has had to make do with only six Premier League starts in his two seasons with United since signing from Sampdoria, where he also had a limited role.

“I chose to come here because of the type of club this is, one of the biggest in the world and an opportunity I couldn’t turn down even though I knew it might be a little harder here to play a lot,” Romero told reporters after United’s 2-0 win over Ajax in the final.
