Jack Butland is the latest left-field signing to serve as a stand-in for Manchester United's No.1. Here are five more, with one becoming a cup-winning hero...
The keeper best known for over 420 games for Swindon started his career as an apprentice at United before leaving for the County Ground as a 19-year-old.
Valdes joined United in January 2015, reuniting with Louis van Gaal after the pair worked together at Barcelona. The keeper had left Barcelona the previous summer upon the expiry of his contract. He was due to join Monaco but a knee injury scuppered that prospect, leaving him free for United half a season later.
“He is not selected because he doesn’t follow our philosophy and there is no place for someone like that,” Van Gaal explained in July 2015. “Philosophy is how you play football and how you maintain your match rhythm. For example, last year, he refused to play in the second team.”
