London: Manchester United`s Sergio Romero hopes goalkeeping rival David De Gea, who has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, stays at the club even if it puts his own position in the side at risk.
"The truth is that I have no idea (what will happen). But for me I hope that De Gea stays here because he`s a good team-mate who always works hard and that is best for the group," the 28-year-old told the Manchester Evening News.
"He works hard every day. He is a great professional, a great person. It happened to me last year in Sampdoria. I was not playing but I was working as if I was going to play," he added.
The Argentina international also expressed his surprise at being the Red Devils` first-choice keeper, after being chosen ahead of De Gea and Victor Valdes who had a public fall-out with Van Gaal.
"They are two fantastic goalkeepers. One has won everything and the other has his career ahead of him to continue to win things. For me it`s a privilege," Romero said.
"But it makes me happy to work with those two," he added.
