The newly appointed Birmingham City manager, Wayne Rooney, is reportedly interested in bringing former Manchester United goalkeeper Jack Butland to the team during the upcoming winter transfer window. Butland, who is currently under contract with Rangers, previously had two stints with Birmingham City. In January, he joined Manchester United on loan to provide additional depth and competition in their goalkeeping department, but he did not make any appearances under Erik ten Hag’s management.
Following his time at Manchester United, Butland played for Crystal Palace from 2021 until this past summer when he was released by the club. Subsequently, he signed a four-year deal with Rangers. Nevertheless, Birmingham is eager to entice him away from Ibrox. Wayne Rooney aims to make his mark on the team by making signings in the next transfer window.
Wayne Rooney expressed his excitement about returning to English football and joining Birmingham City, emphasizing his commitment to the club’s success. He is determined to prepare the players, instill the right mentality, and ensure consistency, believing that a winning mentality is essential in the league.
It’s worth noting that Wayne Rooney, the former Manchester United player, had a successful career at the club, making 559 appearances and scoring 253 goals during his time there.
