Is this true?

My mam will be fuming, she's had an irrational hatred towards him for years now after a couple of seasons in a row where he took about half an hour for every goal kick when he was at Burnley. :lol:

Nick Pope did the same in a 2-2 draw at OT that I remember.

He was probably avoiding getting injured by doing a sudden move. The guy has an injury record at par to that of Jones and Bailly

We want Grant to sign a new contract too, right? That doesn’t make too much sense then. 4 keepers on the books? Romero is gone but he wasn’t registered with us last year.

Henderson or De Gea

Heaton wouldn't come here as the third goalkeeper.

Grant will probably stay as the third goalkeeper......he will be a future goalkeeper coach in the academy.
Why wouldn't Heaton accept the 3rd keeper role? He is a 35 year old keeper with a long injury record. Quite frankly he was never great in the first place

Yeah he did, it's been a Burnley tactic for years but she just blames Heaton for it for some inexplicable reason :lol:

I think to be fair she's now added that hatred for Dyche but it still remains there for Heaton despite him just doing what he was told.

This signing gives Phil Jones hope of another 10 years at United.

So like, how many keepers do we have now? :lol:
De Gea, Henderson, Heaton and Grant. Romero's gone and Bishop's on loan. So that's 4. Perhaps Grant is going to become more of a coach and the main three will be De Gea, Henderson and Heaton?
