**Tom Heaton has signed a new one-year contract at Manchester United.**
The Academy graduate remains an integral part of the first-team squad, playing an important leadership role in the dressing room since returning to the club in 2021.
The experienced goalkeeper will now enter a remarkable 21st season of professional football having made his debut at Swindon Town, while on loan from United, in 2005.
**Tom Heaton said: “It is a huge honour to continue to represent Manchester United.**
**“You can feel the determination and ambition of everyone throughout the club to keep pushing for success. I am really excited to play my role in driving us forward and helping the group to compete for the biggest honours.”**
**Jason Wilcox, Manchester United director of football, said: “We are delighted that Tom is continuing for another year. Everyone is well aware of the importance of his leadership and professionalism within the group.**
**“Tom has played a key role in helping to support Senne [Lammens] throughout his first season in the Premier League; his constant dedication and mentality set a fantastic standard for our goalkeeping group.”**

Glad we are putting the Case wages to good use! All seriousness, great guy to have in the changing room.

I remember hearing on Stretford Paddock that he is a very vocal leadership voice in the squad and dressing room, which is good to see.

Keeps our record of still having one player who made the matchday squad under Fergie in the team. Unless we get Welbeck, could be the final year.

GK department needs investment next summer to have proper competition and depth. Good extension

After the inevitable heat death of the earth, Heaton will still be playing for United

He’s got my dream job. Do nothing, hired by United, paid.

Genuine question, what does this guy actually do at the club. He’s clearly valued, but I’m a bit confused.

I want to be Tom Heaton when I grow up. Top lad and obviously super positively influential for the club

Got Case to thank for hyping him up so much in his interview with Rio lol… good to see him getting the credit publicly

Fair play to the guy I reckon. Realistically he’ll never play so doesn’t matter how old he is. (Although I hope that he has to be subbed on in the CL final in the last minute and saves a penalty to win us the cup, that would be ace.)
