MANCHESTER UNITED fans can be rebadured about anything that can happen to David De Gea, given the record form of goalkeeper Sergio Romero for the club.
Since arriving in 2015, Argentina has maintained flawless statistics on white sheets that have further improved after being cleared against Chelsea on Monday night.

The 2-0 win represented his 28th white match in 43 games, meaning he was undefeated in 65.1% of his matches.
It's better than any other goalkeeper to have played more than three games for United, a list of players that contains esteemed names.
Romero has only played seven Premier League matches. Most of his matches were held in the England Cup and in Europe. He played 12 times for United before winning the 2016/17 Europa League title.
This season, he has kept two white sheets in three of his World Cup outings, having managed four out of four in the last campaign.

Many believe that the current goalkeeper, De Gea, may be the Red Devils best all-time blocker, but his wild record is marred by a tough start to life at Old Trafford.
In his first season, the Spaniard managed only 15 shutouts in 47 games, all competitions, at a rate of 31.9%.
Naturally, it can be said that Romero has faced easier opponents, but he has always held out as Tottenham Hotspur shirts, Celta Vigo and Chelsea.
While De Gea should face Liverpool this weekend, Argentina can expect to be entrusted with a second FA Cup quarter-final in two years, while he would be heading to the Wolves in a month.
