Ruben Amorim’s Defensive Dilemma…
Manchester United fans are currently biting their nails and crossing everything they can cross, hoping that their new star Ayden Heaven isn’t out too long. The young defender had a bit of a tumble with Leicester City’s Patson Daka in a 3-0 victory and ended up being the star of his own stretcher show. Despite leaving the stadium in a space-age boot, he did manage to bid adieu without crutches – so no need to send in the cavalry yet!
Heaven, a mere two matches into his career with Man United, has been a breath of fresh air. Plucked from Arsenal, this newbie already made waves with his cool-as-a-cucumber style – like a duck taking to defensive water. With Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Jonny Evans, and Lisandro Martinez watching from the spa (or the injury benches), Heaven was holding the fort with Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof.
With United’s center-back options dwindling faster than leftover pizza, coach Ruben Amorim is sweating like he’s the one doing drills. The club is all out of left-footed angels. If Heaven’s holiday is too long, United might have to brace for a defensive reshuffle that could give even the most devout supporter a migraine. United fans eagerly await good news on Heaven, because Faith, Hope, and Ruben Amorim could use some divine intervention!
