“I love it here, but I also love playing; I can’t lie” – Manchester United star makes honest admission amid interest from Premier League club
Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton reflected on his future amidst interest from newly promoted Premier League side Luton Town.
About his future at Old Trafford, Heaton said that he loves the club but would like to play more regularly. The 37-year-old said about his future at the Premier League giants:
Heaton has been at Manchester United since 2021 but has made only three appearances for the senior team. He's the third choice 'keeper in the team and is likely to be behind new arrival Andre Onana, who has come in following David de Gea's departure.
Heaton's game time is not expected to rise at United, but he could get more playing time at Luton.
Manchester United have signed Andre Onana from Inter Milan in the ongoing summer transfer window. He comes in as a direct replacement for David de Gea after the Spaniard left on a free transfer after a 12-year stay.
Heaton said that Onana's qualities of playing the ball with his feet are quite visible. He added about the Cameroonian goalkeeper (via 90min):
Heaton added:
Manager Erik ten Hag is keen on imposing his style of play at United next season. A goalkeeper adept with his feet is a requirement for his playing philosophy. Onana, having played under the Dutchman at Ajax, is well aware of the manager's style of play and could be a hit at Old Trafford.
