Tom Heaton haunted Manchester United

Heaton came up in the Manchester United academy and, at one point, looked like he could be the Red Devils' future backstop. But that never happened and he wanted a chance to play regularly.

Heaton was beyond terrific and his save on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's scissor kick was one of the best you will see. Manchester United have David De Gea, so they're happy with their goalkeeper, but Heaton must have been happy to single-handedly deny the Red Devils a win.

Solskjaer admitted the 23-year-old has had "ups and down" since arriving at Old Trafford in 2015 but now wants him to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps having watched the Portugal international develop into one of the world's best while they were teammates under Sir Alex Ferguson. "You talk about Cristiano's career, what he's made, how he's got there," Solskjaer said. "Cristiano was the best, the way he's changed to now.
