​Romero says Man Utd keepers staying together during COVID-19

Manchester United star Sergio Romero says the club's keepers are staying united among the COVID-19 lockdown.

The Red Devils are asking players to come back to the UK in the coming week as they get ready for the possible resumption of first team training.

Romero and other keepers have been largely working on their own during these weeks since the league was halted due to the virus outbreak.

"We have a group which features all of us players at United [on WhatsApp]," he told the club website.

"People are always writing and sending messages, asking how everyone is.

"This is all between ourselves, the players. Then, in addition, we have a group for the goalkeeping department at the club, which features every single goalkeeper, including Joel Pereira and also Deano.

"We're all part of that group and we chat to one another and send messages.

"I also have one with David [De Gea]. He writes to me or I write to him to see how we're both doing, because if this is soon over, we have to be in good shape for when we're back at the club."
