Manchester United Sign New Goalkeeper

Manchester United have signed Lee Grant from Stoke City.

“Moving to Manchester United has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember,” Grant told the club’s official website.

“This was an opportunity that I couldn’t let pass and I’m thrilled to become a part of such a historic club. I’ve enjoyed every moment of my career so far and I’m now ready to continue learning and improving alongside some of the best players in the game. But at the same time, I intend to use my experience to help the team whenever possible.

“I want to say a huge thank you to those close to me who have supported me along my journey so far. I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates and giving everything possible for the club in the upcoming season.”

Grant, 35, previously had two spells with Derby County and has also played for Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday.

He impressed United boss Jose Mourinho in October 2016, but has made only three league appearances for the Potters last season.

Grant will however become third-choice goalkeeper at Old Trafford, behind David De Gea and Sergio Romero.
