Sergio Romero played a crucial role in Manchester United’s 1-0 win over FC Rostov on Thursday night, convincing fans on Twitter to vote him the Reds' Man of the Match.
Romero was one of three players nominated for the award by former United manager and MUTV pundit Ron Atkinson, along with Antonio Valencia and goalscorer Juan Mata. Yet the goalkeeper’s heroics saw him rise above his team-mates after earning 58 per cent of votes cast by followers of @ManUtd.
The Argentina international started instead of David De Gea and impressed observers, particularly when making three excellent second-half saves that helped secure progress to the Europa League quarter-finals.
