New Manchester United signing Sergio Romero is excited to be reunited with manager Louis van Gaal.
The Argentina international goalkeeper has joined the Red Devils on a free transfer after a spell with Sampdoria but previously worked with the Dutchman at AZ from 2007-09.
The 28-year-old recalls that Van Gaal did a great deal of good for his career, calling him a "very important" figure in his life.
"He is a great manager," Romero told MUTV. "He's the kind of boss who puts you at ease and, from the first moment that I was given the goalkeeper shirt by him in 2007, he told me that I would play an important part in his squad.
"It was a vital period for me because, from the moment I signed for him, my career started to really take off.
"He is someone who has been very important in my life. He helped me a lot when I arrived in Holland as I didn't speak Dutch and I didn't speak English but he spoke Spanish.
"He is very honest and open as a person, he helps and reassures you and he cares about every player and every member of staff."
Romero is looking forward to helping United compete for major titles after two barren seasons at Old Trafford.
He enthused: "From the very first moment that I heard there was a possibility of joining this club, I have been thinking constantly about lots of things, playing for the club, training with the other players, getting to know my team-mates, and winning silverware for United."
