Last month, De Gea put up for sale his house in Manchester, which means that the rumor of him joining Real Madrid is gradually becoming a reality. For this reason, coach Mourinho is urgently looking for a replacement for the Spanish goalkeeper.
De Gea has posted a statement saying that all issues about his future will be revealed after the Europa League Final, but everyone understands that with Romero starting, De Gea considers that milestone appropriate to say goodbye.
Romero is 30 years old this year and is gradually building the trust of the coach and fans. Chelsea's pursuit of Courtois is also uncertain, so it is likely that Mourinho will also use the "home and garden" product.
"For me, the final is more important than anything else at the moment. Last year, I came to the club as a free transfer, so until now, people still don't pay much attention to me.
With the confidence that the coach has given me, I am eager to devote myself to the team. We will go to Stockholm to win," Romero shared.
The match against Crystal Palace next Sunday could be the last time Man United fans will see De Gea standing in the "Red Devils" goal, all ready to say goodbye to De Gea and prepare to give Sergio Romero the biggest applause of the season.
