After completing his loan move to Manchester United, Jack Butland is thrilled by the prospect of ‘competing with’ and ‘supporting’ David de Gea at Old Trafford.
By the end of the summer transfer window, United signed Martin Dubravka on a loan from Newcastle United, but after just two appearances, he has returned to Tyneside.
Butland will be hoping for game time this season with the club still fighting on four fronts, including upcoming FA Cup and Carabao Cup matches against Everton and Charlton.

What Jack Butland Said
Alongside de Gea and United’s other back-up option Tom Heaton, Butland is hopeful he can play his part in any success achieved this term.
‘This is an amazing club and one that I am now proud to represent,’ Butland said following confirmation of the move.
‘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.’
Ten Hag opted to rest de Gea in previous Carabao Cup ties against Aston Villa and Burnley. Butland could have the chance to make his United debut in the quarter-final tie at home to Charlton on Tuesday.
