Man United's Romero credits Mourinho for turning a 'nobody' into a star

The Argentine has impressed for the Red Devils when called upon this season and is delighted to be repaying the faith shown in him by his manager

Sergio Romero claims “nobody knew me” when he signed for Manchester United and credits Jose Mourinho with helping to raise his profile.

The Argentine goalkeeper saw his stock rise again on Wednesday evening as his penalty save from Manolo Gabbiadini earned the Red Devils a point from a goalless draw at Southampton.
'Man Utd's pants pulled down over Pogba' He has now kept 11 clean sheets in 17 appearances this season, with his displays marking him out as a reliable back-up to undisputed number one David de Gea.

His ability should never have been questioned, as he arrived at Old Trafford as an experienced international who has spent time in Holland, Italy and France, but he feels he was a relative unknown.

That is no longer the case, though, much of the delight of a man who will be gracing a major final next week when United take on Ajax in the Europa League.
