Sergio Romero Latest : Romero Transfer ON for Man Utd as De Gea dropped

Sergio Romero begins in Manchester United's Premier League opener against Tottenham, with David De Gea dropped from the matchday squad.

Ramos has two years left on his current Real Madrid deal but was poised for a new contract after holding successful talks with president Florentino Perez.

Kindred summer signings Matteo Darmian, Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin begin for United, while Bastian Schweinsteiger has been given a part on the seat.

Michel Vorm begins in goal for Tottenham with No. 1 keeper Hugo Lloris just sufficiently fit for the seat taking after his wrist damage in preseason.

New summer marking Toby Alderweireld begins in focal guard for Spurs nearby Belgium buddy Jan Vertonghen, with Harry Kane driving the line for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
