In a new report, The Daily Mirror has uncovered that Aston Villa’s goalkeeper Tom Heaton has already completed his paperwork with Manchester United for a move this summer.
It is perceived that the player is all set to join Manchester United for free and has already held talks with his team regarding the move.
The English shot-stopper has not shown up for Dean Smith’s side this season as he has been sidelined for a lot of games because of a cruciate tendon injury. Besides, Heaton has been lined up behind Emiliano Martinez in the competition to begin for Aston Villa’s starting XI after getting back from injury back in December a year ago.
The 35-year-old is entering the final stretches of his long playing career yet may appreciate one final enormous move to a top club like Man United prior to hanging up his boots in a couple of year’s time.
He could likewise help give tough competition for Dean Henderson, who is probably going to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s next top optional goalie at the Theater of Dreams.
Heaton brags fair reflexes and can make some strong stops at the back. He is a decent controller of the ball when coming out to gather free passes or crosses inside his own box. Heaton is also to provide good free kicks from the back and help the team create from behind.
At 35, Heaton would accept that he actually has a couple of years left in him on the off chance that he can try not to get injured over several years. There is no uncertainty that he will add more profundity to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s crew and offer some sound rivalry for Dean Henderson next season.
A player of Heaton’s experience will be a decent swap for David de Gea too if Man United chooses to capitalize on the Spaniard this mid-year.
