Overview
- Heaven left Arsenal for Manchester United in February for a nominal fee and signed a four-and-a-half-year contract before stepping straight into the first team.
- The 19-year-old has started Premier League matches under Ruben Amorim, including the recent 4-1 win over Wolves in a back three with Luke Shaw and Noussair Mazraoui.
- Post-match comments from Heaven credit Amorim for placing trust in him as he works to cement his role in United’s defence.
- Multiple outlets report Arsenal were comfortable approving the transfer because they rate 16-year-old Marli Salmon as a top defensive prospect likened to William Saliba, with Salmon recently appearing off the bench in a Champions League win over Club Brugge.
- Match counts differ across reports, with some listing 11 appearances and one assist for United and others citing eight league outings, while Fabrizio Romano previously noted interest from Eintracht Frankfurt and Barcelona before United completed the deal.
