Lee Grant: I was hoping for new Man Utd contract

 

Lee Grant is delighted to have signed a new one-year contract with Manchester United.

Veteran goalkeeper Grant, 38, has further extended his spell at United, putting pen to paper on a one-year deal that keeps him at Old Trafford until the completion of 2021/22.

“I was always very, very hopeful that I could extend my stay for another year and thankfully the club have allowed me to do that," Grant told manutd.com. “I'm really looking forward to the challenge of supporting the team, keeping myself going, as well as motivating others around me for another year.

“I think feeling valued and enjoying your role is huge, no matter what line of work you're in, and I'm obviously fortunate that I've got the opportunity to do that at such a wonderful club. I'm really looking forward to another year with the lads.

“Whoever has the gloves, it's up to the other guys to really push to make sure that, as a team, we're able to get the best possible results. Whether it's David, Dean or myself, we'll all be pushing to play and excited and ready to support the one that is playing.
