Van Gaal: why I bought Romero and why I can't talk about Ronaldo

Louis van Gaal hosted a frank Q&A session in San Jose last night. Plenty of the questions Manchester United fans have been asking were tackled.

Q: WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT SERGIO ROMERO TO THE CLUB?

A: “I think that in our circumstances, with the threat that David de Gea is going to Real Madrid, we have to prepare our season and I think Sergio Romero can fulfil that because you have to handle very quickly when it may happen with David de Gea. And I think it is a very good choice. He is the Argentinian goalkeeper. He has international experience. I know him very well because I picked him when he was 19 years old to (sign for) AZ (Alkmaar), my former club, so I know him. I know also his character so I hope he can have a contribution to our selection and I have that confidence that he can give that.”
