Manchester United opened the club’s January transfer activity last week with a move for goalkeeper Jack Butland.
Butland was assigned the number 31 shirt which was given to Martin Dubravka in the first half of the season. before his recall.
The Crystal Palace owned goalkeeper was pictured at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, but he was not named among the substitutes.
Erik ten Hag had said he would consider using Butland if he had done enough to impress in training. Ultimately it was Tom Heaton who got the nod, making his first ever start for the club.
Butland is continuing to settle in, and until now, no pictures have been released of the new goalkeeper training at Carrington.
