Heaton delighted after long-awaited United debut
As mentioned, United fans applauded Heaton as he stepped on the Old Trafford grass for the first time in a completive game as a Reds player, and our no.22 certainly enjoyed the ovation from the supporters. The goalkeeper also had family and friends watching his debut and now Heaton wants to strive to impress Rangnick even more in order to get further opportunities.
"It felt great. You know, playing at Old Trafford in front of a capacity crowd, you know, it was always going to be a great feeling," he said.
"Having come here as a visitor, I’ve always enjoyed it, but today, to wear the home shirt, my first competitive debut was obviously a brilliant moment. I loved every minute of it. But yeah, you cross the white line, the focus is obviously on doing the job. Once that’s sort of settled down. Now I have just and appetite for more. You know, I felt great and I want to kick on from here."
