Ruben Amorim says Ayden Heaven will keep his place if he continues his form

Ruben Amorim says Ayden Heaven will continue to start for Manchester United if he continues to play like he did against Real Sociedad yesterday.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Leicester City, Amorim was asked about the 18 year old’s performance.

“If Ayden Heaven continues like that, he’s going to play!”, Amorim beamed.

“Of course, he’s young, he didn’t play much this season, maybe just 45 minutes for the U21s, then a few minutes here and there, a full game. I really like his confidence, I like his pace, I think he’s good in defending the box.

“I think he’s quite complete, but he has a lot of work to do. In the Premier League, we will face a different kind of player and he’s going to be tested in a different way, so we are trying to manage all this because he’s still really young.”

The conversation then turned to Mason Mount’s return from injury.

“I think he will go to the bench,” the boss said.

“If he’s fit, I’m going to take him… just five minutes of Mason Mount is perfect.”

“I already said that I really love Mason Mount. Because I see him, I know how he suffers, I know he does everything right. He eats right, his physical aspect is perfect. He’s trying too much. Maybe he’s thinking too much about everything.

“He was a European champion. He’s a really talented player. And when the player does everything like he does, he will always have the support of everybody here in the club…”
