Lee Grant has heaped praise on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for his "wonderful handling" of the goalkeeping situation at Manchester United.
Solskjaer was faced with a difficult conundrum heading into the season, with Dean Henderson and David de Gea both pushing for regular minutes.
De Gea, 30, has long been the No.1 at Old Trafford, but last summer Henderson, 23, returned from a successful two seasons on loan at Sheffield United to stake his claim for game time.
Solskjaer's solution was to hand Henderson the gloves for FA Cup and Carabao Cup fixtures, while De Gea has continued to feature in Premier League and Champions League matches.
Grant - currently the Red Devils' third-choice goalkeeper - has been hugely impressed by Solskjaer's handling of the situation.
“We're seeing it now at our football club with Dean and David, and I think the manager’s handled that situation wonderfully well,” said the 38-year-old.
“Because, actually, at the start of the season there were big question marks on how that was going to work and the dynamics within the group.
“He’s managed to keep two very good goalkeepers happy.”
Grant also labelled Solskjaer a "first class" coach as he continued his glowing verdict on the Red Devils boss.
He added: “Part of the reason I came here was that I get a chance and the opportunity to be around top players, World Cup winners, Champions League winners, Premier League winners, and be in that elite environment.
“I want to coach and I want to manage, you see.
“So being at Manchester United gives me a wonderful platform to go on and do that stuff.
“The managers here — Jose Mourinho was brilliant, Ole’s been first class as well, in terms of the access they give me, just to be in, in and around the coaching side of things as well.
“The two first-team coaches, Kieran [McKenna] and Michael [Carrick], are always quality with me. I’m always in the office with them chucking ideas around.
“And they’re great, they allow me to come and sit in on the analysis for games.”
