Heaton keen to push United teammates

Heaton kept a clean sheet in the first half against Derby County as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side began their pre-season campaign. Lee Grant took over between the sticks for the second 45.

Speaking exclusively to MUTV following the Reds 2-1 victory at Pride Park, Heaton explained that among his aims following his Old Trafford return is earning a starting place.

“That’s the plan,” he said. “Of course I’ve had a fair bit of experience under my belt so I think I can add perhaps a different dimension to the department. There’ll be a professional respect and support all the way through it.
