Manchester United achieved another victory in the Premier League last night, but the main topic among the fans is the transfer window because everyone expects new names in the club.

Thus, in Manchester United they expect the arrival of attackers, but also some other players, and many names are brought into context with this club.

The battle with Arsenal for Joao Felix’s sign ature is certain to be involved, but several other players are following suit.

However, interesting news was reported by the English media, which is that Manchester United wants to hire Jack Butland, the goalkeeper who is also a reserve of Crystal Palace.

De Gea is currently the first choice, but his contract expires at the end of the season, so it is expected that the club will bring a new goalkeeper, of course, if the Spaniard’s contract is not extended.

Butland should be De Gea’s back-up, and the reason is that Newcastle have decided to terminate the loan of Martin Dubravka and bring him back to the club.

Butland started his career in Birmingham and then moved to Stoke City. He has defended for Crystal Palace for two years, more precisely he has defended ten games.

He was also a member of the English national team from 2012 to 2018, and during that period he defended in a total of nine matches.
