Manchester United confirmed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero on a three-year deal.

Romero played under Louis van Gaal at AZ Alkmaar when they were crowned Eredivisie champions in 2009.
Van Gaal told MUTV: 'Sergio Romero is an international goalkeeper from the Argentina team.
'He was also a former player of mine. I was trainer-coach, manager of AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands, I picked him up when he was 19 and he was a great talent. We became champions with him, with a minor club, and in the Netherlands it was a fantastic result of course.
'I know him very well and I think in our situation, if De Gea is going or not going, it is always a threat and we have to take care, make sure that we are prepared and that is why I think it is very good that Sergio Romero is now a Manchester United player.'
