Manchester United goalkeeper Jack Butland has lifted the lid on his enjoyment at the club since signing in January.
Jack Butland signed for Manchester United on loan in the winter transfer window after Martin Dubravka was recalled by Newcastle.
He has not played a game for the club, although it is possible he might get rotated in if Manchester United can wrap up Champions League qualification early this week.
Butland is on loan from Crystal Palace, where he was also previously in a back-up role.
Jack Butland happy at Manchester United
Speaking to club media, Jack Butland praised number one goalkeeper David de Gea for his performances and help behind the scenes.
He said: “I’ve watched him from a distance for a long time and he’s a fantastic shot stopper. He’s a great guy. He’s been enjoyable to work with.”
Butland also added that he has enjoyed training, and referencing shooting practice Bruno Fernandes and Fred have been doing.
He said: “We have a great laugh in training, whether it’s with some of the attacking players – even just shooting practice with Bruno [Fernandes] and Fred and things like that, you get a really good rapport with people and everyone’s themselves and we have a great time.”
Bruno Fernandes has scored 11 goals this season while Fred has netted six times.
Butland’s happiness is set to be put to the test as the race for his signature hots up this summer.
He will become a free agent at the end of June and Manchester United are reported to be keen on signing him permanently in a back-up role.
The Scottish Sun reported last week that United have made Butland an offer, while Rangers have also done so, with the chance to play first team football.
