Speaking with GiveMeSport, journalist Alex Crook analyzes Manchester United’s transfer plans for the goalkeeper position.
Manchester United is actively engaged in the transfer market, making significant signings such as Mason Mount and Andre Onana. Conversely, some players are departing from Old Trafford as they no longer fit into the plans of manager Erik ten Hag.
Tom Heaton is among the names likely to leave Old Trafford this summer. According to reports from the UK press, Luton Town is planning to acquire Heaton to bolster their squad. Manager Rob Edwards is hopeful that Tom Heaton will bring valuable experience to their goalkeeping department.
However, Manchester United will only allow Tom Heaton to leave if a suitable replacement is found. Sharing his perspective with GiveMeSport, journalist Alex Crook states:
Last season, Heaton had only 180 minutes of playing time in a Manchester United shirt. With the arrival of Onana, the competition in Manchester United’s goalkeeping department will intensify.
