"As a senior player, and someone who signed at 11, left aged 24 and came back at 35, the values of this football club are ingrained inside me and I want to make sure that new players who come into the building have an understanding of what the club means to the fans, what the traditions are, what the values are, as well as accepting that it also requires a period to evolve."
"With United already losing Casemiro this summer as one of the most experienced members of the squad, it's important that other veterans don't head for the exit. Heaton helps to keep United's dressing room in order as an influential figure in the squad."
