MANCHESTER UNITED'S goalkeeper troubles with Andre Onana have been quite evident in the last few games. <\/p>\n

So the recent starring performance of former United fan favourite shot-stopper Sergio Romero saw supporters take notice. <\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Romero, who played understudy to David de Gea throughout his six years at Old Trafford, now plays his football back home in Argentina for Boca Juniors.<\/p>\n

And the 36-year-old endeared himself to fans with a stunning performance in their Copa Libertadores semi-final win over Palmeiras.<\/p>\n

The goalie was joined on the winning side by fellow ex-United stars Edinson Cavani and Marcos Rojo.<\/p>\n

Cavani, who played at United for two years, got Boca off to a flyer by scoring in the 23rd minute.<\/p>\n

But after Rojo, 33, was sent off with a second yellow card for a late tackle following the break, Joaquin Piquerez managed an equaliser for Palmeiras, forcing a shootout.<\/p>\n

Things looked bleak for Boca at the start of the shootout after Cavani, 36, failed to score from 12 yards.<\/p>\n

Romero then made two penalty saves against Raphael Veiga and Gustavo G\u00f3mez to make the difference as Boca emerged as 4-2 winners.<\/p>\n

They will now play Fluminense in the final on November 4.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the game, Romero said: "I'm 36 years old – an age when I like to have fun, and for me penalties are fun."<\/p>\n

Boca midfielder Ezequiel Fernandez added: "You dream about these kind of days when you are a kid and so to live it is a unique, special experience.<\/p>\n

"It's history but we know how big we are, how great we are, but it is still a dream."<\/p>\n

Miraculously, the semi-final was not the first time Romero performed shootout heroics in the competition. <\/p>\n

He also made double saves in the second legs of both the quarter-final and the last 16.<\/p>\n

Boca are seeking a seventh Libertadores title, and a first since 2007.<\/p>\n

Brazilian rivals Fluminense are hoping to win the trophy for the first time in the club's history, with their 2008 runner-up feat the only other time they have been in the final.<\/p>\n
