Romero claims he spotted Martial talent before United did

The Argentine goalkeeper might no be first choice in goal at the moment, but he might want to think about a scouting career if what he claims is true.

Before joining the Premier League outfit, Romero spent a season on loan at Monaco, where he claims to have spotted the immense potential of a certain young winger.

"Anthony was still very young, just a kid - I think he was 17 years old at that time - but you could already see that he was a special player with lots of class and lots of talent." he said to the club's official website.

"The kid was a natural. You'd just be amazed at the things he would do in the training sessions

"Back in 2015, not long after I joined United, I was chatting with Ander Herrera, David De Gea and Juan Mata. I let them in on a secret.

"There's a kid at Monaco. Anthony Martial. For sure, in a short while, you'll all be talking about him.

"About a month after I had told Ander, Juan and David about him, Anthony joined us at United. I think he made an impression that first day when he made his debut against Liverpool.

"Right after the game, Ander and Juan told me: 'You were right!' I said to them that I don't feel the need to be proved right. When a young player is good, he's good, end of!'"
