#2 United\'s goalkeeping conundrum still remains unsolved
With the situation surrounding David de Gea and Victor Valdes still unresolved, Van Gaal has no option but to play Sergio Romero in goal. Against Swansea, the Argentinean showed once again why, despite three consecutive clean sheets in the league, he still isn’t worthy of being a Manchester United No.1.
One of the hallmarks of Van Gaal’s United side is their ability to keep possession and build from the back. For that to work, the keeper needs to be good with his feet. But the amount of times the ball was kicked straight out of play or into the opponent’s feet showed that the Argentine isn’t confident with the ball at his feet.
Every keeper makes mistakes and while Romero’s tame attempt to stop the second goal can be dismissed as a blip, his distribution throughout the game showed why United still need to keep hold of De Gea or bring in someone to replace Romero.
