Tom Heaton reviews Real Betis friendly match and Man Utd’s Spain training camp

Speaking after Saturday’s meeting with Betis, Heaton explained the benefits of the camp, at least one of which was personal – getting more minutes on the pitch.

“I had a little knock just before the [World Cup] break,” Heaton admitted, before telling MUTV’s Ben Ibson and Danny Webber that he regained fitness and then had some time away.

“So it was nice to get a little run-out, nice to get some minutes. I felt good this week, it’s been a good week in terms of getting some good training.

“We’ve got a lot of young lads in the squad at the minute. It was a good experience for them against a good Betis side. Obviously, we’ve been beaten which is not ideal but there will be some good learning points in there.”
