OFFICIAL: Lee Grant signs for Manchester United

The experienced stopper keeper has signed a two-year deal with Manchester United.

Grant will replace Sam Johnstone who has joined West Brom for £5m.

Stoke are said to have received around £1.5m from the Premier League giants according to the 'Daily Star.'

United wanted a keeper to provide cover for David de Gea and Sergio Romero, with the younger Joel Perriera likely to be sent on loan to gain experience.

Grant told ManUtd.com: Moving to Manchester United has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. This was an opportunity that I couldn’t let pass and I’m thrilled to become a part of such a historic club.

"I’ve enjoyed every moment of my career so far and I’m now ready to continue learning and improving alongside some of the best players in the game. But at the same time, I intend to use my experience to help the team whenever possible."

"I want to say a huge thank you to those close to me who have supported me along my journey so far. I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates and giving everything possible for the club in the upcoming season."

Grant joined Stoke from Derby in 2016 to proved back-up for the injured Jack Buckland.

He impressed with his performances, appearing 30 times for the club, and receiving their Player of the Year award.

Mourinho's noticed the keeper after United's 1-1 draw with Stoke in October 2016.
