“Take a bow” – Journalist can’t believe how good this Man Utd star turned out to be – (Video)
Manchester United youngster Ayden Heaven continues to steal the headlines with his delightful displays at the back.
The 18-year-old was poached from Arsenal in January and has recently made his Premier League debut coming off the bench against Arsenal. His impressive cameo against the Gunners was awarded with his full debut against Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Europa League Round of 16.
The teenager also impressed against the Spaniards, so Ruben Amorim confirmed him at the back, giving him his full EPL debut against Leicester City at King Power on Sunday evening.
The Red Devils are now in the lead thanks to Rasmus Hojlund who finally ended his agonising 21-match drought. But while the Dane was the one who put his name on the scoresheet, fans and observers are still mesmerized by Heaven.
In the 26th minute, a long ball almost freed Paston Daka who could have had a straight run towards goal, but the teenage defender comfortably dispossessed him while showing unbelievable composure. This pivotal action was followed by the opening goal just a couple of minutes later.
Retired journalist Adam Joseph was simply delighted with Heaven who is having a sensational start to his Man Utd stint.
“Ayden Heaven, what a last man tackle. Take a bow. What a start to his Manchester United career,” posted Joseph on X.

This statement was also echoed by former Republic of Ireland striker Clinton Morrison who equally praised Heaven’s serenity.
“The young boy Heaven looks the most comfortable on the ball out of Man United’s three centre-backs. Leicester need to go and press them. I don’t care how good you are – nobody likes feeling under pressure and being pressed.”
It remains to be seen if the young man will confirm his excellent display in the second half.
