From Arsenal Fan to United’s Rising Star…
Once upon a summer day, Ayden Heaven was nothing more than a speed bump for Rasmus Hojlund as Manchester United hit the back of the net against Arsenal in pre-season. Fast forward eight months, and the conversation has hilariously shifted from “Who is this guy?” to “Oh no, where’s Heaven when you need him?” as United triumphed 3-0 over Leicester City. Forget Hojlund’s drought-breaking goal; Heaven’s injury was the real drama queen at the King Power Stadium!
Although he’s played only four games and hasn’t clocked up 250 minutes on the pitch yet, Ayden Heaven, the backline newbie, had amazed coach Ruben Amorim and his gang. The gum-chewing Wayne Rooney couldn’t stop his praise frenzy from the commentary box, reminiscing about how this guy went from getting outmuscled to being everyone’s favorite defender.
Not just an Arsenal man at heart, Heaven’s life turned into a football soap opera: rejected by West Ham, flirted with Chelsea and Fulham, then finally found his fame calling at United. This boy wonder learned the ropes from the mighty William Saliba and dazzled against Real Sociedad. Now, everyone’s crossing fingers hoping Heaven’s injury is a hiccup and not a cliffhanger!
