Man Utd keeper Grant happy to welcome Heaton

Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant hopes his relationship with Tom Heaton can help him settle at the club.

Heaton recently joined the club on a free transfer after being released by Aston Villa.

Having signed a new contract on Sunday, Grant said he was excited to work with Heaton.

Asked by MUTV if he had come across Heaton during his career, Grant replied: "Absolutely. We played against each other many times.

"He actually came into Burnley just after I'd left. We've done a lot of work together at the PFA over the last five or six years, so we've got a really good relationship and I'm sure that will help in terms of him being able to settle and us being able to form a strong dynamic as a group."
