Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Jack Butland on loan for the remainder of the season from Crystal Palace, the club has announced.
Butland is set to arrive from Palace after Newcastle United recalled Martin Dubravka from his season-long loan at Old Trafford.

The 29-year-old England international joined Palace in 2020 where he made 10 appearances and will join United as a back-up to first-choice David de Gea.
“Martin was recalled and we need three experienced goalkeepers,” United boss Erik ten Hag told a news conference when asked about Butland’s arrival.
“I’m really happy with David. It’s quite clear he’s our No. 1. He’s a really good performer but there’s always something that can happen with David as well and you have to be prepared for that so you don’t have one.”
