HEATON: UNITED HELPFUL TO MY BURNLEY SUCCESS

Tom Heaton has hailed his time with Premier League giant, Manchester United as a huge contributing factor to his time at Burnley.


The goalkeeper was one of the 24 players former Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson took to Russia for their 2008 Champions League final clash against Chelsea. He was the third choice goalkeeper, so he merely followed the team everywhere. He was on the stands in Luzhniki Stadium alongside other stars like French star Louis Saha, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, Chris Eagles, Park Ji-sung, Danny Welbeck and others.
