Man Utd goalkeeper retired at the age of… 23 years old

In a statement on the official website of the team, Man Utd confirmed the decision to retire from the football career of goalkeeper Paul Woolston – the number 3 goalkeeper of the “Red Devils”, behind David de Gea and Dean Henderson .

Paul Woolston had two major surgeries last year and a long period of treatment for an injury. After leaving Newcastle, Paul Woolston joined Man Utd on a free transfer. He has made 19 appearances for Man Utd’s youth team, but has never played in the squad after suffering a serious injury.

Man Utd did not say what injury Paul Woolston had, but according to transfermarkt, Woolston is suffering from a serious hip problem and is forced to retire early. Faced with the plight of their teammates, both number one goalkeeper David de Gea and number two goalkeeper Dean Henderson paid tribute to Woolston.

De Gea said: “Too bad he had to retire at such a young age. I talked to him the other day, and told him that the most important thing in life, more than football, is to have a healthy life.

So sad. I trained with him, when he was healthy. I wish him all the best. Woolston is a great lad, a great goalkeeper and we all feel really sorry for him.“.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Henderson said that Woolston’s retirement was really shocking news for him. “It was devastating for himself and everyone who knew him. He’s a great guy to play with. When I was in the younger age groups, I even remember going up against him when he was at Newcastle.

But he’s a very smart guy and that should work in his favor. I didn’t know about news this when everything is kept secret“, shared Henderson.
