Four-time Man Utd trophy winner, 37, looks unrecognisable as he heads to training with dramatic new look
SERGIO ROMERO has gone from silverware at the Theatre of Dreams to silver hair on his final big stage.
The ex-Manchester United keeper, 37, has unveiled a platinum look with home-country giants Boca Juniors.
Romero is Argentina’s most-capped stopper, with the last of those 96 games coming in 2018.
That international swansong came midway through his six years at Old Trafford as back-up to David de Gea, where he won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa Cup.
And as well as new streaks in his hair, he’s still showing flashes of brilliance on the pitch.
Romero pulled off a double shootout save as Boca sunk Palmeiras in last season’s Copa Libertadores semis.
Sadly for the former Sampdoria No1, Fluminense avenged defeat for their fellow Brazilians with a 2-1 win at the final in Rio de Janeiro.
Now Romero has changed his locks in an effort to help Boca find the key to solving their early struggles this season, which started last month.
He’s gone silver for the past two matches – with the second phase of the campaign just under way.
Romero’s fashion jinks were shown in a fun video by hair salon Peluqueria Nino.

They’ve previously given new looks to other Boca stars, including another ex-Red Devil in 34-year-old defender Marcos Rojo.
Even team coach Diego Martínez has been “re-cropped” by the salon.
Now Romero will hope his new style has fringe benefits for surprise strugglers Boca.
The 35-time Argentinian champs are nearer the drop zone than the title hunt after the first batch of four league games this term.
