What happened: Goalkeeper Tom Heaton has signed a one-year extension to his Manchester United contract, keeping him at Old Trafford for another season. Heaton called the new deal a "huge honour" and said he can feel the determination and ambition across the club to keep pushing for success.

Why it matters: The extension secures depth and dressing-room experience in the United goalkeeping ranks rather than a first-choice starter. Retaining a respected senior professional adds continuity and leadership to the squad as the club looks to build toward next season.

What to watch: Watch for how United round out the rest of their goalkeeping depth chart and squad business ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
