Romero has made 62 appearances from Argentina over the years. With his country he finished second in last years World Cup and won the Olympic Gold medal for football at Beijing 2008.

Louis van Gaal said: “Sergio is a very talented goalkeeper. He was a young keeper during my time at AZ Alkmaar and I am delighted he is joining Manchester United. He had a fantastic World Cup last summer in Brazil, although that is something I have put to the back of my mind! He will be a great addition to the team and I am looking forward to working with him once again.”
