Manchester United have agreed a shock free transfer swoop to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton. Heaton will leave Villa Park when his contract expires next month as the former Burnley stopper opted not to extend his deal with Dean Smith’s side. United have moved quickly to bring the 35-year-old to Old Trafford ahead of next season with talks ongoing for the last few weeks. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now looks to have secured an experienced backup to Dean Henderson and David De Gea. Both players have been called up for their national sides this summer with Henderson included in Gareth Southgate’s provisional 33-man Euro 2020 squad.
