Manchester United Boss Reveals Which Goalkeeper Will Start In FA Cup Fixture vs Wolves

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Sergio Romero will start in their Emirates FA Cup third-round fixture against Wolves on Saturday.

Romero, who has regularly featured in Man Utd’s League Cup and FA Cup matches, has so far made seven appearances this season for the Red Devils that came against Astana, Rochdale, Partizan Belgrade (twice), Chelsea, AZ Alkmaar and Colchester United. The fact that he has kept clean sheets this season will boost his confidence ahead of the FA Cup away match against Wolves.

In an interview posted on the official Man Utd website Friday, Solskjaer revealed his plan to rotate his goalkeepers against Wolves.

“Sergio will play and he will be in goal. He has been fantastic when he has played. He has played in the Carabao Cup a couple of times and he has played in Europe, so he is keeping his record up with those games. He has not played enough, for his liking, but whenever he has been called upon he has always produced,” Solskjaer added in the interview that took place inside the Jimmy Murphy Centre.

Since joining Man Utd in 2015, Romero impressively has kept as many as 32 clean sheets in 51 matches across all the tournaments.

Meanwhile, during the latest media interaction, Solskjaer insisted that he was fed up with the questions being asked all the time regarding Paul Pogba’s fitness.

“Here we go again - FA Cup third round and you are talking about Paul. Paul came back after a long spell out. [He played] two games, had a reaction and could not go to Burnley. He felt his ankle was sore. We did a scan. It is not the same injury, it is a different injury. Of course, when you get that scan, you speak to him,” the Man Utd manager further said at his press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Wolves.

When he was questioned about Pogba seeking a second opinion about his ankle surgery, the Norweigan manager backed his midfielder’s right to do so.

“You always consult your own medical people as well, like I did when I had my operation. You want the best second opinion. The advice was to have it done. It is not going to be a major one and probably as I said three or four weeks. As I said, when I had knee operations I had my people in Norway and Sweden that I spoke to and Paul obviously has people as well that he trusts and that is important. That is as clear as it can be at this point,” the former Man Utd player added.
