In recent years, he has spent the majority of his time on United&#8217;s bench &#8211; only being used in the club&#8217;s cup competitions. Despite consistently displaying that he had the ability at that level, he was often overlooked in the latter stages.<\/p>\n<p>The Argentinian goalkeeper has been linked with moves away over the transfer window. However, it seems his chances of securing a deal have slimmed with the international transfer deadline passing last night.<\/p>\n<h2>Manchester United Goalkeeper Sergio Romero&#8217;s Future Remains Unclear<\/h2>\n<h3>Sergio Romero Slipping Down United&#8217;s Pecking Order<\/h3>\n<p>The return of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e5a76dfe\/Dean-Henderson?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dean Henderson<\/a> from his season-long loan at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/sheffield-united-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_self\">Sheffield United<\/a> has dampened Romero&#8217;s chances of playing in the Premier League even more. It is certainly a good problem for United, having three world-class goalkeepers amongst their squad. However, it is a difficult situation if you are the third-choice keeper, like Romero currently is.<\/p>\n<p>The young English shot-stopper has taken Romero&#8217;s spot on the United bench. Additionally, Henderson has started both Carabao Cup victories against Luton and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_self\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> retrospectively, with the Argentinian not even making the bench.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Rumours Fizzling Out After Robin Olsen Signing<\/h3>\n<p>The 33-year-old&#8217;s situation at United caught the eye of table-toppers <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/everton\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a>, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2020\/sep\/25\/football-transfer-rumour-sergio-romero-to-replace-jordan-pickford-everton-sancho-manchester-united\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Guardian<\/a>. The Toffees were in need of a goalkeeper who could challenge and contest for the club&#8217;s number one shirt.<\/p>\n<p>However, it seems that late last night, the Toffees filled that void. Everton struck a deal with Roma for Swedish shot-stopper Robin Olsen on a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2020\/10\/05\/robin-olsen-joins-everton-on-season-long-loan-from-as-roma\/\" target=\"_self\">season-long loan<\/a>, seemingly diminishing the likelihood of Romero heading to Merseyside.<\/p>\n<h3>Sergio Romero&#8217;s Wife Voiced Her Opinion on Instagram<\/h3>\n<p>United&#8217;s disrespectful treatment of the Argentine keeper was voiced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CF-Mh7jDezb\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romero&#8217;s wife on Instagram.<\/a> Eliana Guercio took to the social media platform to voice her concern over the lack of respect United have shown Romero.<\/p>\n<p>She praised his hard work and highlighted his significant contributions to the club, saying: &#8220;It is time for them to return the opportunity and let him go. Respect for once.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Romero&#8217;s last chance this transfer window is to find a domestic suitor. It seems that a move to Everton is now highly unlikely, but his availability may just spark another club.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"lhsRwYtHQApVbntU9XABsw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1228071074\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lhsRwYtHQApVbntU9XABsw',sig:'ao4sq6mbLGJdTJTDfHlDoloUDY2YC854W4KA8zYR5Ds=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1228071074',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is fair to say that Sergio Romero&#8217;s\u00a0 time at Manchester United has been rather difficult.
