Young Keeper Happy To Fight For His Place

Last updated : 25 September 2007 By editor

Reserve keeper Tom Heaton, "But my ambition is to play at a top club and Manchester United is the biggest club in the world. Okay, I could be playing somewhere else but would I be learning what I am learning now? Would I be training with the best players in the world? Probably not.

"You just weigh everything up and make the decision that is right for you. I am eager to make my breakthrough just like everyone else. With both Edwin and Tomasz in front of me, I accept that is a little difficult at the moment.

"I look at Tomasz and think he hasn't played a game all year. I can appreciate what he is going through and he is an established international but it just motivates me to keep working harder and hopefully get an opportunity somewhere down the line."
