Romero has done exceedingly well in the Europa League

The Argentine has predominantly played in the Europa League this season and started his eleventh game in the competition. David De Gea has played three but it has been Romero who has been given the opportunity to impress at the continental stage. And he did exactly that against Celta Vigo as a string of good saves throughout the game helped him raise his stock ahead of the big final against Ajax in the coming weeks.

Jose Mourinho now has a tough decision to make as to continue with Romero in Stockholm or go with the safe option of David De Gea who has been their saviour in recent seasons and has also done enough to warrant a place in the club's most important match of the season. It will be interesting to see who is selected by Jose Mourinho for the final frontier but it will be a good headache to have for the manager who now has two in-form custodians waiting for the nod.
