Ayden Heaven has made his feelings known to Manchester United fans after Ruben Amorim’s men defeated Aston Villa on the final day of the Premier League season.
Manchester United landed Ayden Heaven back in the January transfer window from Premier League rivals Arsenal, with the youngster inking a deal until June 2029.
Heaven left the Arsenal academy set-up and became part of the United youth academy, but the teenager has already made his presence felt in the first-team.
The 18-year-old United centre-back has already managed to climb into the first-team squad in the 2024-25 campaign at Old Trafford under manager Ruben Amorim.
Heaven has impressed United fans since his emergence at the Premier League club and the former Arsenal academy product has been gaining invaluable experience.
The United defender has made seven appearances across all competitions for the senior Red Devils team and has stepped up when Ruben Amorim has called on him.
Heaven’s debut season at United has been disrupted by a foot injury and has limited further appearances that he could have made for Amorim before the season was out.
However, the United talent did manage to overcome his injury and Heaven returned for the Red Devils to play in the final match of the club’s 2024-25 campaign.

“Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you the good days are coming. If there is one club in the world that proves in the past that it can overcome any situation, any disaster, it’s our club, it’s Manchester United Football Club.
