Manchester United 'in talks' with Crystal Palace for goalkeeper ahead of potential transfer

Manchester United and Crystal Palace are reportedly in talks over a loan deal for Jack Butland.

The Eagles goalkeeper is seen as a replacement for Martin Dubravka, who departed Old Trafford at the start of the January transfer window in order to return to parent club Newcastle United midway through his season-long loan.

Butland has yet to feature for Patrick Vieira's side this season after breaking a finger in pre-season against United and has made ten appearances in the Premier League since joining from Stoke City in 2020.

According to various media outlets, including the Telegraph and the Athletic, he is now seen as a potential back-up to David de Gea for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.

Butland's last appearance was the 3-2 defeat to Everton last May, a season in which he made 15 appearances across all competitions and played in all five FA Cup games including the semi-final loss to Chelsea at Wembley stadium.

A member of the 2018 England World Cup squad and the starting shot-stopper for Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, Butland's Crystal Palace contract expires in the summer.
