Manchester United sign goalkeeper Theo Richardson after 'outstanding performances' during trial with U18s

Manchester United have bolstered their goalkeeping ranks by snapping up highly-rated teenager Theo Richardson.

The 18-year-old shot-stopper has been rewarded with a permanent contract after impressing during a short-term trial at the back end of last season.

Richardson plied his trade at Leeds' academy before being given the chance to earn a full-time deal at Old Trafford.
