Everton boss Ancelotti cools talk of move for Man Utd keeper Romero

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has denied interest in Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero.

Reports on Friday suggested the Toffees are considering a move for Manchester United's Sergio Romero after England No1 Jordan Pickford made a series of errors.

But Ancelotti says Pickford has his "total confidence" and described him as a "great goalkeeper".

Speaking ahead of Everton's trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday, Ancelotti said: "There is a lot of focus on him but, I have to be honest, he started really well and did a fantastic match against Tottenham.

"I am not really focused on him, like you. He is a great goalkeeper. He has my total confidence."

Asked whether Everton intended to bring in a new goalkeeper, the Italian replied: "We are not looking for this."
