Boss Michael Beale is said to be seeking a replacement for 41-year-old Allan McGregor, who is set to leave at the end of the season.

Beale is also an admirer of Butland, whose contract at Palace will expire at the end of June.

The goalkeeper will be given the no.1 shirt when he completes his move to Ibrox.

Butland is yet to make a competitive appearance this season, with a fractured finger keeping him sidelined for the first half of the campaign at Palace.

He has previously featured nine times for the England national team and has made a total of 293 club appearances.

United are the eighth club and seventh loan of his career, which started at Birmingham City before he moved to Stoke City and then Palace.
