Former Man Utd keeper Lee Grant enjoying new role after "crossed to the dark side" claim

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant jokes that one of his fellow stoppers has accused him of joining the "dark side" after becoming a finishing coach.

The 40-year-old, who played just twice in his four seasons as United's backup, hung up his gloves at the end of the 2021-22 season. He has joined the coaching staff at Ipswich, who are managed by former United coach Kieran McKenna, but his role doesn't focus on the Tractor Boys' keepers.

Ipswich are pushing for promotion back to the Championship, and a return of 72 goals makes them the top scorers in League 1 this term. Grant may well have had something to do with that, even if others aren't letting him forget his past.
