Manchester United were in the market for a goalkeeper after Newcastle United recalled Martin Dubravka earlier this month. The Red Devils want competition for De Gea and believe the Englishman will be perfect for it.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the new Manchester United signing claimed he was proud to join them. He added that he was ready to work with the two keepers at the club and help them in any way possible.
He added:
Manchester United expect Jack Butland to push David de Gea
Manchester United signed Martin Dubravka last summer to put pressure on David de Gea after Dean Henderson forced a loan move away from the club. With the Newcastle United keeper recalled by the Magpies, the Red Devils turned to Crystal Palace and signed Butland.
John Murtough, the Red Devils’ football director, spoke about the loan move and said:
Butland will become a free agent in the summer and should impress at Old Trafford, he could become a permanent signing if Henderson or De Gea leave.
