Bruno Fernandes has told Manchester United one player they need to sign this summer

On Monday, it was announced by the Football Association [FA] that Heaton has teamed up with the squad for the duration of the tournament as a training goalkeeper. The 38-year-old will provide support and guidance for Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale and former United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
