Onana has are available in to us now,” said Heaton, United’s second-choice goalkeeper. “Time will tell – I think Pep [Guardiola] said it was difficult for them [City] to get on a high press with him playing like that. I was really impressed with him in that game and I’m looking forward to working with him, competing with him and we’ll see how it plays out.
“I can see already how he’s going to fit into the manager’s style. He looks really good with his feet and am already picking up a little bit about how he does things slightly different to what I’ve seen before. I know I’m getting on but I still try to adapt, still try to learn all the time. I enjoy that side of it and we’ll see what he brings in.”
