How Bruno reacted to Tom's England news
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has congratulated his fellow senior leader Tom Heaton on a surprise addition to England’s Euro 2024 training squad.
It was announced on Monday afternoon that 38-year-old Heaton will join the Three Lions camp in Germany to support goalkeepers Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale and Dean Henderson.
England manager Gareth Southgate has said Tom will play an "invaluable role on the training pitch" and "add to the positive environment we are always looking to create."

Posting on Instagram, Heaton has reacted to the news by writing: “Incredibly honoured to be asked by Gareth to join the squad.
“To get the call to go to a major tournament, to help in anyway I can and pass on my experience is a proud moment.
“We have a great squad, I’m excited and can’t wait to join the group.”
Heaton is an experienced member of the United squad and part of a senior leadership group led by captain Fernandes.
Naturally, Bruno has led the messages of congratulations on social media, posting: “Great leaders are always welcome in any place. Congratulations big man.”
