#2 Sergio Romero is a pretty good understudy for De Gea
While David de Gea is undoubtedly United’s number one, there has been a lot of deliberations about who can be a worthy replacement for the Spaniard when he needs to be rested or is injured. Sergio Romero made his third start for United this season last night, and he showed why Jose trusted him to deliver in such a crucial tie.
The Argentine didn’t have a lot to do throughout the game but proved more than capable when called upon.
He made sure that his team went home with a clean sheet by making a spectacular double save in the first half. First, he blocked Rick Karsdorp's shot and then stuck out his right leg to divert Dirk Kuyt's follow-up wide. It was Feyenoord’s only meaningful attempt on goal in the game, but if he had failed to save them, it could have been a different story.
