Romero yet to prove worth to Man Utd

Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero is yet to prove he can command the club's No. 1 jersey, according to Louis van Gaal.

The 28-year-old joined the club on a free transfer in July after his contract with Italian side Sampdoria expired, providing competition for Real Madrid target David de Gea, who is sitting out of first-team action.

Romero has conceded just one goal in five outings for his new club - an own goal from Michael Carrick against Club Brugge - yet Van Gaal says he is yet to be fully tested.

"I don't think so," he told reporters when asked if his goalkeeper has proved his worth for the team.

"Until now we don't allow a lot of shots or moments in our 16-metre area. He could not show what he can show, I think, but that is only a compliment for the team."
