DONE DEAL? Tom Heaton agrees Man Utd terms

Departing Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton is on his way to Manchester United.

The Sun says Heaton has agreed a two-year deal with Manchester United.

The 35-year-old goalkeeper left Aston Villa on a free transfer last Friday.

Outgoing Aston Villa keeper Tom Heaton is rejoining his first club Man Utd on a free transfer, 11 years after leaving Old Trafford.

Heaton has jetted off on a ten-day family holiday but is set to sign terms at Old Trafford on his return.

United have offered three-cap England stopper Heaton a two-year deal plus the option of an extra 12 months.

The Red Devils have been on the hunt for another keeper, with the future of back-ups Lee Grant and Sergio Romero uncertain.

Heaton came through the ranks at United and was part of the squad between 2002 to 2010 but failed to make a first-team appearance.
