Sampdoria goalkeeper Sergio Romero has made it clear that he did not turn down a move to Manchester United in the summer.
The 27-year old Argentina international was reported to have rejected a shift to Old Trafford after his impressive World Cup in Brazil but he insists that was never the case.
"Many lies have been spread, like, for example, that I refused a transfer to Manchester United," Romero told Radio Nacional.
"To me, something like that is crazy."
However, Romero says he will have to ponder his future in Italy if he continues to play second fiddle to Sampdoria number one Emiliano Viviano who is on loan from Palermo.
"I can't do this for much longer," Romero, who spent last season on loan with Monaco, admitted.
"The same thing happened to me in France - arriving a club when the transfer window is nearly closed and having to wait for an opportunity.
"I am happy at Sampdoria, though, and I will keep showing the coach that I am ready to play and that I don't want to keep sitting on the bench."
