Manchester United signed goalkeeper Jack Butland on loan from Crystal Palace on Friday, bringing him in as a back up for first-choice David de Gea.
Butland, who has signed a deal until the end of the season, joins United after Newcastle United cut Martin Dubravka’s loan period short.
“I’ve played against David de Gea and represented England alongside Tom Heaton; they are top-class keepers, and I am relishing the opportunity to compete alongside and support them as teammates,” said Butland, who has nine caps for England.
The 29-year-old joined Palace in 2020 but did not make an appearance for them this season. REUTERS
