Huge concern as Man United star tested for COVID-19 after spending 14 days in quarantine

Sergio Romero has opened up on he was tested for coronavirus test after two weeks in quarantine in his native Argentina.

The results came out negative but the Argentine shot-stopper had to endure a 14-hour flight back to his native country over concerns about the virus.

The 33-year-old was then forced to spend 14 days self-isolating in a hotel before a test was conducted.

Results of the tests came out three days later as the United number two breathe a sigh of relief and was allowed to go back home to join his family.

Romero said: "I came back to Argentina on March 22.

"I did my travelling, which was really, really hard, because I went in a car from Manchester to London.

"After that I took a plane from London to Paris. Not many people were in the airport, but all the people were keeping a safe distance from each other.

"All of the people were looking nervous or badly to the other people, because sometimes someone does this [sneezes].

"Maybe they didn't have anything, but the people looked a bit strange [at them] and took their distance.

"In the plane, I flew Paris to Buenos Aires, 14 hours. I just sit my body in the plan and I don't move for 14 hours. I don't eat, I don't go to the toilet, because you never know how is the people.

"When I arrived in Argentina, I was in a hotel for 14 days in the centre, because many people, when we come back from Europe, we need to stay in quarantine alone.

"I stayed for two weeks there and, after two weeks, they did the test in my nose and my mouth and I waited three more days in the hotel and, after the result is negative, I came to my house with my family."

He continued: "The most important thing is to stay at home, stay safe, do the little things for the family, like just going to the supermarket, to the medicine store. Don't move from the house. This is the most important thing."
