The 36-year-old has regularly been named in the Reds’ matchday squad under Erik ten Hag this season and kept clean sheets in his two appearances, which came in the Carabao Cup against Charlton Athletic and Nottingham Forest.
Heaton was not on the bench for United’s last outing, the 3-1 Emirates FA Cup victory over Fulham at Old Trafford on 19 March.
This was due to an injury suffered at Carrington just prior to the quarter-final tie, which means that he won’t be available for several of United’s upcoming matches.
“Yeah, unfortunately the day before the Fulham game, I rolled my ankle in training,” Tom confirmed to club media on Thursday.
