New Manchester United goalkeeper Jack Butland had to delete a past tweet regarding a transfer to the club.

The shot stopper will be the no.2 at United until the end of the season, signing on loan from Crystal Palace.

Butland did have to go back and delete an old tweet, where he said in 2017 to a fan that he would never move to United as a number two keeper.

Speaking after the deal was confirmed, Butland said to the club website: “This is an amazing club and one that I am now proud to represent. 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."
