Tom Heaton: Manchester United re-sign goalkeeper on two-year deal after Aston Villa exit

Manchester United have re-signed goalkeeper Tom Heaton on a two-year contract.

He went on to play 377 senior games at various clubs, most notably Burnley, before leaving for Aston Villa in 2019.

Heaton left Villa Park at the end of last season and is returning to Old Trafford on a free transfer.

"For me to have the opportunity to come back after spending 13 great years here as a kid, it's an incredible feeling and I'm really, really excited to get started," he said.

Heaton, who has three England caps, is the fourth goalkeeper in Manchester United's senior squad along with David de Gea, Dean Henderson and Lee Grant.
