Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero has lifted the lid on his weird superstition.

The Argentina international has explained how he personally tampers with his playing kit before entering the field of play.

He said: “I've got a bit of an obsession with my shorts.

“I like my goalkeeper shorts to be the same length as basketball shorts. They need to be well below the knee.

“A lot of the time, what I do is take two pairs of shorts and then cut and sew them together. It's a fixation I've got, and it's something I've done at each of my former clubs.

“I've always liked my shorts to be long and to completely cover my legs.

“Other than that, there's nothing special."
