‘Everyone has a chance every time we perform to stake a claim in the team. David knows he should have saved the second goal, that’s done now and we have to look forward to Wednesday,” the manager continued.

Solskjaer, however, observed he had no regret playing the 29-year-old in goal despite Romero playing a pivotal part in United’s cup competitions campaign.
