5 players who should leave Manchester United to progress in their careers

#3 Sergio Romero

Manchester United v Burton Albion - Carabao Cup Third Round

South American stars have hardly had great times at Manchester United and we have seen them struggling to cement their spot in the team. Romero’s purchase was more of a panic buy than anything else.

As in the summer of 2014/15, David de Gea was closer to an exit from the club, Louis Van Gaal brought Romero to occupy the number one spot for Manchester United.

Sergio Romero has been a regular starter for the Argentine national team. He has impressed everyone with his consistent performances at world stage as he has been able to handle a feeble Argentine defence really well. However, when things come to Manchester United, things are a bit different.

Romero has never been able to become a regular starter for the club due to the presence of the exuberantly amazing David de Gea. Though the Argentine is a good goalkeeper, the Spaniard’s presence means that Romero’s playing time has been very limited.

Last season was mainly the breakthrough season for United, as Romero was appointed as the Europa League keeper for United as de Gea was kept on the bench. Romero was amazing in the title-winning trophy for United as he delivered steady performances all through the competition.

Even in the final, he looked unfazed by Ajax’s young squad, as the goalkeeper led his box with the high command.

At 30 years of age, Romero has matured well as a goalkeeper and his best years lie ahead. He has shown a constant urge to improve, which is quite evident by his displays. There were doubts over his ball distribution early on, but those apprehensions seem to have disappeared now.
