Manchester United sign Jack Butland on loan from Crystal Palace until the end of the season

Manchester United have completed the loan signing of goalkeeper Jack Butland from Crystal Palace.

Butland will spend the second half of the season at Old Trafford and provide competition for No 1 David de Gea and Tom Heaton after Martin Dubravka was recently recalled from his loan by parent club Newcastle.

‘This is an amazing club and one that I am now proud to represent,’ former England goalkeeper Butland told the official club website.

‘I’m really looking forward to working with an unbelievable goalkeeping group, supporting each other every day to create the best training and playing environment for the team.

‘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 team-mates.

‘There is a lot that this group can achieve this season and I’m excited to play my part in helping everyone to reach these ambitions.’

Butland has made 17 appearances for Palace since joining from Stoke in 2020 and, while his contract at Selhurst Park is set to expire in the summer, the club hold the option to extend his terms by a further 12 months.
