Manchester United hand keeper Theo Richardson permanent deal

Manchester United have confirmed they have signed young goalkeeper Theo Richardson.

Richardson, 18, arrived from Leeds on a short-term contract at the end of last season and has been rewarded for his performances in the under-18s with a permanent contract.

He was one of four goalkeepers who travelled to Austria for a joint training camp with the U18s and U23s along with Kieran O'Hara, Max Johnstone and Ilias Moutha-Sebtaoui.

Dean Henderson, 20, has joined League One side Shrewsbury on loan until the end of the season.

Richardson is set to compete with O'Hara and Joel Pereira for a place in Ricky Sbragia's U23s next season.
