The transfer of Ayden Heaven from Arsenal to Manchester United has been finalised. The transfer was announced on Saturday, and the player expressed his satisfaction at being able to secure the move. Additionally, the specifics of the contract that Heaven has signed have been disclosed.
Ruben Amorim, the new manager of the Red Devils, has had a somewhat inconsistent start to his tenure as manager. He has won eight of his 18 matches so far, but he has also lost seven of those matches. The Red Devils are gradually but surely working to strengthen their squad after this. As a result of the fact that Manchester United supported their previous manager with a transfer spending of 180 million pounds during the summer, the club has been forced to carefully juggle their finances during the winter transfer window in order to provide Amorim with new additions.
However, after reaching an agreement earlier this week to bring in Patrick Dorgu from Lecce in a deal that will exceed £29.3 million (€35 million, $36.3 million), the Red Devils have now announced the second signing of the winter window after completing a deal for a talented young Arsenal defender named Heaven.
With the option of extending his contract for an additional year, the 18-year-old player, who is capable of playing either centre back or left back, has signed a contract that will last until the summer of 2029.
Additionally, United and Arsenal have reached a “undisclosed compensation agreement” regarding the deal, and they have disclosed that the player will be added to Amorim’s first-team squad options “immediately.”
Heaven, an England Under-19 international, announced his excitement about joining the Red Devils on his Instagram page, where he also provided an explanation of the move: It is a great honour for me to become a member of Manchester United.
Everyone who contributed to the realisation of this dream is deserving of my gratitude.
There are a lot of things that I want to accomplish while playing the game. For the purpose of continuing my development and becoming the best player that I can be, I will be giving everything I have.
Ayden Heaven has been signed by Manchester United, as explained by Jason Wilcox. It is evident that United are placing a significant amount of emphasis on building for the future, as Heaven’s move to Old Trafford follows on from their acquisition of Chido Obi-Martin, a former teammate of his from the Gunners academy earlier this season.
This month, the Red Devils have also reached an agreement to sign Diego Leon, a teenager from Paraguay. However, the signing of Diego Leon will not be finalised until the summer, and at that point, the left-sided defender will have turned 18 years old.
Nevertheless, United’s technical director Jason Wilcox, who is fully aware of the significance of constructing for the future, has been the mastermind behind all three of these moves.
It was on the official website of the club that he made the following statement regarding the acquisition of Heaven: “We are delighted that Ayden has joined Manchester United.”
“He is already an extremely talented defender who is prepared to join our first-team squad in order to make the most of his development for the best possible outcome.”As a result of this club’s remarkable history of providing support to young players, we are confident that Ayden is in the ideal environment to realise his full potential.
Rashford is reportedly “advanced” to Villa, and Mathys Tel is having a leg-up on Manchester United.
While this is going on, Marcus Rashford is getting closer and closer to leaving United. Our transfer correspondent Fraser Fletcher revealed that negotiations regarding a transfer to Aston Villa are now “at an advanced stage” and will be finalised before the transfer deadline on Monday.
And with Unai Emery personally intervening to get a deal over the line, it appears that the long-running saga is finally getting closer and closer to a conclusion.
We understand that Mathys Tel, a star player for Bayern Munich, has now made it clear to his representatives that a move to Old Trafford is his top priority in the event that he decides to leave the Allianz Arena this month. United may still try to bring in a new forward of their own before the transfer window closes.
On the other hand, according to two sources, it appears that a move will be difficult to pull off, as Tel is also anticipated to make a transfer U-turn regarding his desire to leave the team.
And last but not least, as the clock ticks downward towards the deadline of 11 o’clock on Monday, a report has revealed how and why Amorim is so eager to get rid of both Rashford and Casemiro, despite the fact that neither player is expected to play in his plans.
