Manchester United's main goalkeeper Onana needs to recover for a long time after being injured. Head coach Amorim used two substitute goalkeepers Heaton and Baindel to take turns to keep the goal. Local British media pointed out that the 39-year-old goalkeeper Heaton performed well and even had the opportunity to play as the main player to play against Arsenal at home in the first round of the Premier League in the new season.

Manchester United played against Leeds United in their first warm-up match this summer. Goalkeeper Heaton came on as a substitute in the second half and made two excellent saves to protect the city. After that, "America Journey" played against West Ham United in the first game, with Baindel as the main player playing the game. The city gate immediately fell and he was able to win 2-1. When he played against Bournemouth, he used the veteran goalkeeper Heaton to start. He also performed well on the court, including two saves and must-scoring goals, helping Manchester United beat his opponent 4-1. The local British media believe that the veteran goalkeeper Heaton's performance is more reliable than his competitor Baindel.

Because Heaton is older, he has played for Manchester United in the past four seasons and has only played three times and was ridiculed by fans as a "goalkeeper sparring player". After his contract expired at the end of June, he faced being given up for a while, but eventually received a one-year renewal from Manchester United. With Heaton's recent performance on the field, it proves that Manchester United's retaining him is definitely the right choice.
