Red Devils needed the depth in goal as the second goalkeeper Dubravka returned to Newcastle. 29 year old Butland has prior Premier League experience of 87 appearances by keeping a total of 21 clean sheets in the competition which allowed him to provide backup to the first-choice Goalkeeper David de Gea.

Butland has told United’s official website:

“This is an amazing club and one that I am now proud to represent. 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 teammates. 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.”
