Manchester United are expected to sign the highly experienced Stoke City keeper Lee Grant this week.

As per Sky Sports, the 35-year-old will undergo his medical with the Old Trafford outfit soon.

Grant will be Manchester United’s third choice keeper after David de Gea and Sergio Romero. His arrival will allow the likes of Pereira to go out on loan and continue their development with regular first-team football.

However, Manchester United fans aren’t too happy about signing a player past his peak. The Old Trafford faithful have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment.

It is important to remember that Grant is unlikely to start for United and he will come in as a free agent. Bringing in a cheap option that allows the young players at the club to go out and get more first-team action is hardly a disaster.

The Stoke City player will be Mourinho’s third summer signing after Dalot and Fred.

Here is how the United fans reacted to the news.

Great. Good business. I dont think we need anymore signings now. Team so good, probably win the world cup too if allowed to participate.

Fellaini and Darmain staying at Utd and Lee Grant coming. I’m baffled.
