League One goalkeeper, 23, missed the chance to join Man United after failing TWO medicals with the club

Shrewsbury stopper Toby Savin was denied a dream move to Manchester United after failing two medicals at Old Trafford.

United wanted the 23-year-old to become their third choice keeper with 38-year-old Tom Heaton moving into a coaching role and Nathan Bishop having moved to Sunderland last year.

Savin was was playing for Accrington Stanley in League Two when he failed his first medical in January after being followed by scouts from United, Newcastle and Tottenham for the last three years,

The Englishman exited Accrington when the season came to a close and was on course to join United on a free transfer before failing another medical this month.

Savin was limited to just nine appearances last season after suffering a shoulder injury.

Shrewsbury were confident that he would return to full fitness and he signed a two-year deal with the club last month.

Shrews boss Paul Hurst said after his arrival: 'Toby attracted interest from clubs higher up the leagues.

'He is a player with plenty of potential and has all the attributes to be a really good goalkeeper.

'Our job is to make sure he fulfils that and becomes the best version of himself.'
