Lee Grant has won a new one-year deal with Manchester United.

United's third-choice goalkeeper, who is desperate to return from an arm injury before the season is out, has expressed his delight at signing the new deal.

"I love being here and clearly somebody likes me being here also, so it's good to have it sorted," Grant, 37, told United's official website.

"I'm just looking forward to being part of next year and part of watching the football club grow and move forward, which for me, has been happening clearly over the last 18 months anyway.

"But seeing those seeds that have been planted and getting the chance to hopefully see the fruits of that next year will be nice.

"Obviously, I'm very much used to it now because I'm at the tail-end of my career and it's kind of normal to be in those situations [having a contract run down]. It happens in every footballer's life, it's part of it, coming to the end of contracts and time at a football club and not not knowing where you find yourself.

"So, sometimes, the instability can be unsettling. Fortunately for me, it's another year sorted and it gives me the opportunity to plan ahead and get cracking."
