Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant hopes his relationship with Tom Heaton can help him settle at the club.

Heaton recently joined the club on a free transfer after being released by Aston Villa.

Having signed a new contract on Sunday, Grant said he was excited to work with Heaton.

Asked by MUTV if he had come across Heaton during his career, Grant replied: "Absolutely. We played against each other many times.

"He actually came into Burnley just after I'd left. We've done a lot of work together at the PFA over the last five or six years, so we've got a really good relationship and I'm sure that will help in terms of him being able to settle and us being able to form a strong dynamic as a group."
