The 25-year-old moved to United from Motherwell but found first-team opportunities limited in South Yorkshire, joining Blackpool on a season-long loan deal.

“I just want to go somewhere and be playing. Personally if you’re not playing, you’re not happy. That’s just how players think.”

When asked if a return to Bloomfield Road next season could be on the cards, Heneghan replied: “We don’t know what the future holds, do we? So we’ll see.”
