David De Gea Stay Good For Me Insists Sergio Romero
Sergio Romero said he would be happy if fellow goalkeeper David de Gea, linked with Real Madrid, stayed at Manchester United.
Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero wants reported Real Madrid target David de Gea to stay at Old Trafford.
De Gea is undoubtedly the first-choice shot-stopper at United, having made 35 Premier League starts last season.
But the Spain international is consistently linked with Madrid, the club he almost joined in August 2015.
While a De Gea exit would likely give Romero more opportunities, the Argentina goalkeeper said he wanted his team-mate to stay.
"It's better for the club that there is this competition there between me and David," he told UK newspapers.
"The truth is that there exists a great friendship between us, we work hard in order help each other out.
"It's very important that we work in this way so we can get the most out of each other. If he puts pressure on me, I put pressure on him and it's the same with Joel [Pereira] who is working with us.
"Yes, it's good for me [if he stays]. He is a friend and we will keep working hard to help each other out in training.
"If he does well then I do well, so in that way, the level of performance will always be high."
