The experienced goalkeeper, who spent 13 years with the Red Devils in his younger days, finds himself back in familiar surroundings
Tom Heaton has returned to Manchester United on a two-year contract, with the 35-year-old goalkeeper heading back to Old Trafford as a free agent some 11 years on from bringing an initial spell with the Red Devils to a close.
The former England international, who has three caps for his country, made no competitive appearances for United after stepping out of their youth ranks.
He did gain experience from a number of loans - spending time with the likes of Swindon, QPR and Rochdale - but left on a permanent basis for Cardiff in 2010.
