Jack Butland to undergo Manchester United medical TODAY ahead of surprise loan move as Red Devils look for back-up to David De Gea following Martin Dubravka’s early return to Newcastle

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland will undergo a medical on Thursday ahead of a loan move to Manchester United, according to reports.

United have acted quickly in recruiting a back-up goalkeeper to David De Gea after Newcastle recalled Martin Dubravka from his season-long long at Old Trafford, leaving just Tom Heaton and Neil Bishop as their other options.

Sportsmail reported this week that the Red Devils were set to make a shock bid for the former Stoke City keeper as Erik ten Hag looks to bring in stronger depth should anything happen to Spaniard De Gea.
