da bet esporte: Speaking after Manchester United’s draw with Wolves in the FA Cup, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer singled out Sergio Romero for significant praise after his assured display.
What did he say?
da marjack bet: The Red Devils will entertain Nuno Espirito Santo’s men in a replay at Old Trafford after they could only draw 0-0 in their third round clash at Molineux on late Saturday afternoon.
Whilst United’s attack misfired in miserable fashion – they couldn’t register a single shot on target in the entire 90 minutes – Romero delivered a far more commanding display at the other end, making two saves (both of them being from inside the box).

And speaking after the game, Solskjaer admitted that Romero’s performances have increased the pressure on first-choice goalkeeper David de Gea. When asked if the 6 foot 4 man could replace the Spaniard, he said (as quoted by The Manchester Evening News): “Yes. He was brilliant again, he normally is. Top professional, top human being. And the goalkeeping situation is great because you have competition.
“We have two of the best keepers in the world and it’s great for me, and we want that in every single position. We want competition and Sergio (only) put one foot wrong today when he gave a corner kick. But he was brilliant.”
Knocking on the door
Make no mistake about it, the longer Romero continues to do his job without any real hiccups, Solskjaer will have a major conundrum on his hands. De Gea’s form over the past couple of seasons has been up-and-down to say the least, committing four errors that led directly to goals last season.

This season has also seen him make high-profile clangers, with the one away at Watford a particularly disastrous moment for the former Atletico Madrid man. Whilst Solskjaer was effusive in his praise of Romero himself, the fact he reiterated that it increases the competition for the number one spot, is a warning to De Gea that he will need to up his game. Otherwise he could find himself out of the team for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans react to transfer interest in this Premier League midfielder who has outscored many of their first-team stars.
