Manchester United have completed the signing of goalkeeper Sergio Romero on a free transfer. The 28-year-old has 62 caps for Argentina and has previously played under Louis van Gaal at AZ Alkmaar.

The club confirmed that they have signed Romero on a three-year deal.

United’s latest summer signing admitted being excited about getting stared at his new club.

 “I am absolutely delighted to join Manchester United. To play for the biggest club in the world is a dream come true for me. Louis van Gaal is a fantastic manager and I cannot wait to get started on this new and exciting challenge in my career.”

Louis van Gaal seemed equally delighted over bringing the familiar face to Old Trafford.

“Sergio is a very talented goalkeeper. He was a young keeper during my time at AZ Alkmaar and I am delighted he is joining Manchester United. He had a fantastic World Cup last summer in Brazil, although that is something I have put to the back of my mind! He will be a great addition to the team and I am looking forward to working with him once again.”
