Manchester United vs Stoke City: what we learned
-
Grant puts in performance of a lifetime
Lee Grant has had a fairly pedestrian career so far. A graduate of Watford’s youth system, Grant has spent most of his senior career at Derby County. When Stoke City came calling for a six month loan, to cover for Jack Butland, Grant jumped at the chance.
He might not have won any silverware, but this is a story worth telling his grandchildren. The day, he (almost) singlehandedly, won a share of the spoils at Old Trafford.
Again and again United attacked. The final count stood at 9 shots on target. However, what the stats don’t say, is the fact that most of them would have been sure goals, if not for Grant.
His performance included multiple saves from Zlatan, but the best was an instinctive dive deny Jesse Lingard from point blank range.
