​Mourinho opts for Man Utd keeper Romero in Europa League final

Sergio Romero is set to start for Manchester United in the Europa League final, with Jose Mourinho saying there was "no dilemma" in sticking with the Argentina keeper in favour of regular first-choice David de Gea.

"I never saw in all my career two goalkeepers to be so friendly because it is a position when you always have a little bit of rivalry, especially if you are both the same kind of level," said Mourinho.

"I think it is fair Sergio is going to play the final and David accepts, because he has already played Europa League matches and if we win the trophy, David wins the trophy."
