Sergio Romero reveals Manchester United secret weapon in Europa League

Sergio Romero believes Manchester United's teamwork and camaraderie will hold the key to them achieving success in the Europa League this season.

United flew to Germany on Sunday morning ahead of the Europa League final tournament, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to face FC Copenhagen in the quarter-final on Monday night.

As part of the new final tournament in Cologne matches will be decided over a single-leg with United well aware any slip up could cost them dearly at this stage of the competition.

Romero played in the final when United last won the Europa League three years ago and he believes the club's team spirit will be crucial in advancing any further this time around.

“In Argentina, we say these are 'vida o muerte', life-and-death games because, if you win, you progress,” he told ManUtd.com. “But, if you lose, you're going home.”

“The fact is it will be decided by one-off games that you have to win. Anything can always happen in a game, your focus and mindset always need to be spot on, and your legs have to always respond.

“As a group of players, if we have a team-mate who is struggling a bit on the day, all the lads have to give him a lift, so he can compete in the game in the best possible way. For sure, every bit of work and effort every day in training, as well as all our dreams are focused on getting United back to another Europa League final. So, we’re going to work hard for that to happen.”
