Manchester United boss Michael Carrick admitted that he was “massively disappointed” about the decision to uphold the suspensions sidelining his first-choice center back partnership, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martínez, but was full of praise for their potential stand-in, Ayden Heaven.
“I think Ayden’s in a good place,” Carrick told assembled media ahead of United’s trip to Chelsea on Saturday evening. “Well, I know he’s in a good place. He’s obviously still young and he’s progressing through the early stages of his career, so I think it’s pretty natural for him to play some games and maybe not some others.”
