Lee Grant has announced his retirement from football after four years at Manchester United.
The 39-year-old officially called time on his long career on Tuesday, with his Old Trafford contract expiring at the end of June. While Grant was only able to add two appearances to his tally of 511 during his time with the Red Devils, the goalkeeper had the privilege of experiencing the United camp from a unique perspective, earning his coaching badges while still being in the thick of the action.
Over the last two seasons, the veteran - who will now reunite with ex-Red Devils coach Kieran McKenna as an assistant at Ipswich Town - was an eye witness to one of the Premier League 's most hotly-contested battles, as David de Gea and Dean Henderson competed for the No.1 spot under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and later Ralf Rangnick.
