​Man Utd keeper Romero tested for coronavirus

Manchester United goalkeeper has been tested for COVID-19.

The Red Devils backup shot stopper was in Argentina for the past few weeks.

He had to quarantine there for two weeks, but his test did eventually come back negative.

The 33-year-old self isolated for two weeks in a hotel in Buenos Aires.

Romero, who is still in Argentina, said on Manchester United's official app: "I came back to Argentina on March 22.

"I did my travelling, which was really, really hard, because I went in a car from Manchester to London.

"After that I took a plane from London to Paris.

"Not many people were in the airport, but all the people were keeping a safe distance from each other.

"All of the people were looking nervous or badly to the other people, because sometimes someone does this [sneezes].

"Maybe they didn't have anything, but the people looked a bit strange [at them] and took their distance.

"In the plane, I flew Paris to Buenos Aires, 14 hours. I just sit my body in the plan and I don't move for 14 hours. I don't eat, I don't go to the toilet, because you never know how is the people.

"When I arrived in Argentina, I was in a hotel for 14 days in the centre, because many people, when we come back from Europe, we need to stay in quarantine alone.

"I stayed for two weeks there and, after two weeks, they did the test in my nose and my mouth and I waited three more days in the hotel and, after the result is negative, I came to my house with my family."

He added: "The most important thing is to stay at home, stay safe, do the little things for the family, like just going to the supermarket, to the pharmacy.

"Don't move from the house. This is the most important thing."
