Manchester United are off to a flyer at the start of the new season, which has seen them play with all their might and net four goals consecutively against West Ham United and Swansea City in their first as well as the second game in the Premier League.
They are looking to grow on this fantastic base that they have built on some good performances from their players and are willing to make full use of the remaining days in the summer transfer market, so as to strengthen their squad for the new season, which is going to involve Champions League football as well.
One player, who has been on Manchester United’s radar for quite some time now, is the England international Jack Butland, who is currently playing for fellow Premier League side Stoke City. The player has already represented his country in the Under-17 tournaments and is eyed by a number of big-name clubs, who are looking to bid for him and get him on their side for the new season including.
The player is known for his cool and composed attitude and ability to stay calm even in the face of the most critical one on one situation under the crossbar for his country as well as the club. He has proven himself at the highest level in club football, performing well on a consistent basis for the Potters since his inclusion into the side since 2013.
Though Manchester United have not been having any recent problems with their present shot stopper David De Gea, there is always a chance that the Spanish champions Real Madrid might pounce upon with a massive bid to bag the player for the new season. This has made the Manchester United gaffer Jose Mourinho look for a new option to be kept handy in case there is a contingency, and he has targeted the Stoke City shot stopper to be brought into the side in such a situation.
Butland is known for his superb ability to assess the ball trajectory to perfection and keep the opposition strikers from meeting the ball from crosses. He is not afraid to go into challenges with the opponents and gather the ball safely to avert the imminent danger. The 24-year-old has been in good form of late and has 18 clean sheets so far for his club Stoke City, which is very much an evidence of his quality beneath the crossbar.
The young goalkeeper has shown his prowess time and again and can be a very good addition to the Red Devils’ squad, in case he gets to sign for them in the forthcoming days.
