Rangers hero Brown: Butland should be Man Utd's No1

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been told that he should have a different no.1 goalkeeper.

The Red Devils signed Andre Onana in the summer from Inter Milan for a mega fee.

However, ex-Rangers star John Brown believes former loanee Jack Butland could have done a better job.

“I was always a fan of Butland," Brown said, per The Mirror.

“I was surprised he never got more minutes down south. When I look at the Premier League there are a lot of goalkeepers down there that I'd say Jack Butland is better than.

"He was at Manchester United and for me their first-choice goalkeeper... if I was going for a steady keeper then Jack Butland would be my choice. So the fact Rangers got him is fantastic for the club. The other thing is he's coming into a club with 50,000 every home game.

"He's playing in Europe, going for trophies, he's got a trophy in the bag, he probably has another 10 years at the top because of the years he's missed."
