Could Tom Heaton play his first league game for United at 39
Amorim predicted to make many changes for today and this is one as neither keeper has impressed.

I mean, I’d be pretty surprised - more likely Bayandir. As good as Tom was for us, he’s 39 and hasn’t played a league game for about four years.

It will be six years on NYD since he last played a league game, for Villa at the Turf, and he's now 39. I'd be staggered if he brought him in.

Heaton played in pre-season and was excellent for them.

That’s what this article says and Bayindir is susceptible to crosses.
There’s a bit of me hopes he fulfills his childhoood dream, but I would prefer Bayindir missing crosses.
Could Tom transform their season like he did for us after replacing Joe Hart!!!
Lots of PL keepers have played into their 40s
