Lee Grant admits signing a new deal with Manchester United was partly motivated by coaching opportunities at the club.

The veteran goalkeeper is taking his coaching badges and has signed a new 12 month deal.

He told manutd.com: "Absolutely, and again that's certainly part of my thinking in terms of remaining at the football club. I've got really great options at this football club to progress and the club have been so, so great with me in doing that.

"Richard Hartis and Craig [Mawson], who are obviously my go-to people in terms of my goalkeeping aspirations and learning, they've been great with me. Of course, beyond that, I've got the first-team coaching staff and the manager, who have been really, really good in terms of allowing me to explore my coaching ideas, but also giving me those opportunities.

"A big thank you to the Academy as well, because they've been great with giving me opportunities to coach. So I'm really really thankful for that and I'm hoping that I can continue to do that over the next 12 months."
