With the World Cup approaching, the Argentine press is starting to get worried with the quiet season Sergio Romero has had at Manchester United.
Spending most of the time on the bench, the 31-year-old has only made nine appearances this season, none of them in the Premier League.
Todo Notícias, one of the biggest outlets in Argentina, has a story about Romero’s ‘worrying lack of activity’ in England.
They wonder how the goalkeeper will arrive to the World Cup, and their arguments stack up. Since the 2014 tournament in Brazil, Romero has only played 66 matches for his clubs, being a reserve player at both Sampdoria and Manchester United.
Former national team captain Roberto Ayala has been speaking to the local media this week, and teased with a change in the goalkeeping position. He told ESPN that “in goal, Guzmán adapts to Sampaoli’s idea”, even though “for Romero, his matches for the national team back him up.”
