“I'm delighted with the players we have been able to secure ahead of the new season.”
Bruce continued:
“John has been a solid, consistent part of Manchester United's squad for well over a decade, which goes to show the fantastic pedigree of player we have signed.
He is a wonderful professional both on and off the field and his wealth of experience and versatility will be great attributes for us.”
