Manchester United players have reacted to Jack Butland’s exit following the end of his loan deal.
Rangers announced last night they have signed Jack Butland on a permanent deal, from July 1 when he becomes a free agent.
Butland has landed a four-year deal with Rangers, where he is expected to become their new number one.
It was a deal which was too good for him to turn down, even if Manchester United had offered him the chance to stay as a back-up.
