Sergio Romero is ready to make the most of his chance in the Manchester United starting XI when he lines up against Burton in the Carabao Cup.

'I'm always ready and prepared for whenever the manager says that I have my chance to play,' he said. 'If it happens to be this Wednesday for the cup game, then great. Or, if not, whenever else it's my turn. I feel good in myself and I'm working hard for whenever he gives me my opportunity.
'The main objective is for things to go well for the club and for the team to perform well and achieve all the victories and success we need to. Then, on a personal level, it's quite natural that I need to play because you have the Argentinian national team, who are hoping for me to get some game time.
'But my own aims are very clear, enjoy and make the best of every minute that the manager gives me here. I'm always ready to play, I think I demonstrated that last year when I played 18 games and you saw how I did in those 18 games. I'm very happy and at ease at this club and the minute that Mr Mourinho tells me I'm starting, I'll be 100 per cent ready to go.
'When the manager says to me: "Sergio, you're in the side for this game", whether it's the league or the cups, or whatever, I'm prepared to show that he can still have faith in me because I'm in good form.'

The Brewers have won two, drawn two and lost four of their opening league matches, a far cry from the impressive form of United.
Mourinho's side have won four and drawn one of their first five, dropping just two points and two goals since the start of the campaign.
