'Never thought they'd let you go' - Sergio Romero's verdict of David de Gea leaving Manchester United

Sergio Romero has paid tribute to David de Gea and believes his former team-mate will be up to whatever challenge comes his way after leaving Manchester United.

The 32-year-old confirmed he had officially left Old Trafford yesterday. The Spaniard's United contract expired at the end of June and, with no new deal agreed, De Gea has confirmed he will be moving on to pastures new this summer.

De Gea is now seeking a new club after 12 years at United with a lengthy spell which began when he was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Atletico Madrid in 2011. His time at Old Trafford comes to an end after 545 appearances and a trophy haul including the Premier League, FA Cup, two Carabao Cups and the Europa League.
