Manchester United have a gem on their hands in Ayden Heaven. Few would have expected Ruben Amorim to fast track the 17-year-old centre-back into his team within weeks of signing for the club.
But after signing on a four-and-a-half-year deal in January after joining from Arsenal, Heaven is set to make his first senior start against Real Sociedad on Thursday night as United look to progress in the Europa League, less than two weeks after debuting in the second half of the Red Devils’ doomed FA Cup penalty shootout defeat to Fulham.
