Tom Heaton has been awarded a one-year contract extension by Manchester United, marking a significant development for the 39-year-old goalkeeper. Having come through United's academy, he left in 2010 but returned in 2021. He finally made his first-team debut at the age of 35. Despite his limited appearances, Heaton's leadership qualities are highly regarded by the club, and he remains a valuable presence in the squad. Next season will be his 20th as a professional player, where he will support first-choice keepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.
Heaton's experience and leadership are critical for Manchester United, and their director of football values his readiness to step up when needed.
After being awarded a one-year contract extension, Heaton will continue to serve as a backup goalkeeper, marking his 20th professional season.
