Manchester United
on Sunday confirmed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero on a three-year
deal.
The 28-year-old
will replace Victor Valdes, who was shown the door at Old Trafford after
apparently refusing to play for United's second team.
"To play for
the biggest club in the world is a dream come true for me," said Romero in
a statement on the club's website.
"Louis van
Gaal is a fantastic manager and I cannot wait to get started on this new and
exciting challenge in my career."
Romero made his
senior debut in the Argentine Primera Division with Racing Club in 2007.
Since then he has
played for his country on several occasions, and was part of Argentina's squad
for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil where they finished runners-up to Germany.
He will already be
familiar with the methods of Manchester United manager Van Gaal, who was coach
during Romero's time at Dutch club AZ Alkmaar.
"He was a
young `keeper during my time at AZ Alkmaar and I am delighted he is joining
Manchester United," Van Gaal said on the club's website.
"He will be a
great addition to the team and I am looking forward to working with him once
again."
