Sergio Romero was released by Manchester United at the end of last season.
In 2020/21, he did not play a single minute in any competition, following Dean Henderson’s return to the club.
Romero is no longer a free agent, having now signed for Venezia, who play in the Italian top flight.
Romero has spoken at a press conference to announce his arrival during the international break.
He spoke about his final season at Old Trafford, when he was essentially frozen out.
“It was a strange year for me, but I trained all year at Manchester United,” he said.
“Some days I was training by myself, because the squad was preparing the game. I feel good, I worked in Argentina too and want to prove I’m the same Sergio who was at Sampdoria and then Manchester.”
Romero deserved better
We’ve written about this before, but Romero deserved better treatment from United.
Romero was never first choice at Old Trafford, but was always a model professional and performed when called upon.
United should be a club which deals with unwanted players with class.
To his credit, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been great with Phil Jones; patient behind the scenes and defensive of him in public.
Romero did not get the same standard of treatment and was unceremoniously relegated to third choice and wasted a year of his career when he could have been playing elsewhere.
It is to be hoped now that he can crack on and start playing football again after finally finding a new club.
