5 long-term replacements for David De Gea that Manchester United can consider

#3 Jack Butland

Jack Butland is currently playing for Stoke City in the Championship

As tears rolled down the cheeks of Jack Butland after Stoke City got relegated last season, many fans thought he would depart and make it into one of the good clubs of England but that did not happen as the loyalty stricken keeper stayed on to play under Gary Rowett.

Even though he's stayed at the club he loves, Butland's potential and talent cannot be overlooked. He was sensational before he suffered an injury and he's getting those shades of consistency back yet again.

He's started 15 games in the Championship and Stoke find themselves in a mediocre position but he's put in shifts and has been injury free. He's kept 5 clean-sheets, made 138 recoveries and managed 14 saves.

His concentration level has been amazing just as his ability to play the ball forward through long-passes. Butland's current market value is €22 million but the demands of Stoke might raise the value up. He's one more realistic target that United can consider.
