Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton has joined Queens Park Rangers on a three-month loan.

The 23-year-old shot-stopper has three England Under-21 caps to his name and manager Jim Magilton has expressed his delight at the move.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "I'm delighted we've been able to bring in a keeper of Tom's calibre to the club.

"We need competition for Radek (Cerny) and Tom will provide that. He's a good keeper, who knows what it takes to play in the Championship.

"He comes highly-rated, by both Sir Alex Ferguson and our own goalkeeping coach, David Rouse, who worked very closely with him at Old Trafford."
