Lee Grant on goalkeeping situation at Man Utd

“It’s been great, there’s a really good atmosphere within the group and the goalkeeping department is no different to any other department. We’re all pulling in the right direction and striving to be fit and ready, and looking forward to next weekend [the opener against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford].

“I imagine, for Dean, it [the loan] has given him huge confidence in himself, and that self-belief is all important, especially at a young age. The next test is obviously in front of him now and he’s committed his future to the football club, which is wonderful news. It’s great for the department – myself, Dean, Sergio, David, Nathan. It’s a long list!

“We all want to play and all want to do well for this club and that can only enhance the atmosphere in the group.”
