Man Utd Complete Signing of Veteran Stoke Goalkeeper Lee Grant for Undisclosed Fee

Manchester United have completed the signing of former Stoke, Derby and Burnley goalkeeper Lee Grant on a short-term contract as extra cover for David de Gea and Sergio Romero for the forthcoming season.

Grant, 35, is believed to have signed a 12-month contract with United and his arrival at Old Trafford is expected to mean that emerging 22-year-old talent Joel Pereira is allowed to spend the 2018/19 campaign out on loan gaining invaluable first team experience.

The move was first announced by a tweet posted on Stoke's official Twitter page, with United going on to confirm the move on their official website.
