Sir Alex Ferguson is considering a summer move for Birmingham City’s £3 million-rated goalkeeper, Jack Butland.
Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, sent his goalkeeping coach, Eric Steele, to make a personal check on Butland in Cheltenham’s 1-0 defeat at Rotherham on Monday.
Butland, who made his debut for the England Under-21s last year, is on his second loan spell with League Two Cheltenham and has also been regularly watched by Arsenal this season.
The 19-year-old has represented England at every level up to the under-21s but is still yet to make a first-team appearance for Birmingham.
Chris Hughton, the Birmingham manager, is expecting serious interest in the summer and the club are prepared to sell Butland if they receive a suitable offer.
