Jack Butland quizzed on Rangers transfer as Manchester United loanee gives one word answer

Jack Butland was quizzed by a fan over a move to Rangers this summer as he delivered a one word reply.

The Manchester United loanee has been strongly linked with a switch north of the border to take over the No1 role at Ibrox for Michael Beale with Allan McGregor's time at the club now over. The Ibrox legend was one of five stars including Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent who said goodbye to the Light Blues faithful on Tuesday night following the midweek draw with Hearts. The supporters gave the group a big send-off as they thanked them for the service to the club over the years.

A new era is underway in Govan with Kieran Dowell the first confirmed summer recruit. He has penned a pre-contract in Glasgow with terms on a three-year contract sealed. He joins former Norwich City team-mate Todd Cantwell who has established himself as a fans' favourite after his move north in January alongside Nicolas Raskin.

Other names been mentioned include the likes of Dujon Sterling, Auston Trusty, Luis Palma, Ike Ugbo and most recently Archie Brown.

Butland has been offered the chance to stay at Manchester United on double his wages but he would be down for a back-up role in Erik ten Hag's set-up - similar to his current situation at Old Trafford.

But it seems he may well be choosing football over money after a fan exchange as he signed autographs.

A supporter can be heard asking him: “Are you going to Rangers?”

Butland responded: “Pardon?” And then when the fan again asks “Rangers?” He replies: “Maybe.”
