Compilation of Man Utd's latest signing Ayden Heaven is going viral and it's got fans talking

The 18-year-old is considered a first-team signing, say reports.

A compilation of highly-rated defender Ayden Heaven has emerged after Manchester United 'reached an agreement' to sign the teenager from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

Heaven is about to follow in the footsteps of Chido Obi-Martin and turn down a professional deal at Arsenal.

A number of clubs have expressed an interest, including Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt, but it appears United have won the race to sign a player who impressed Mikel Arteta in pre-season.

In fact, a medical has already been booked in, according to Fabrizio Romano, while SCOOP claim Heaven will be considered a first-team player and provide competition for Lisandro Martinez.

Heaven came up against United in a pre-season game last summer; a performance Mikel Arteta described as "very impressive".

"I don’t know how many players are able to do that on a stage like this [at his age]," Arteta added. "He’s lost a duel against [Rasmus Hojlund], one of the strongest and fastest players in the world, it can happen.

"But the reaction afterwards, the composure, the quality, the body language that he had were all remarkable. I’m really happy with him."

Heaven's outing against United that day has since featured in a compilation of his so-called 'best bits' on X, formerly Twitter, following the news around his proposed move to Old Trafford.

X account @UtdFaithfuls reposted the below footage alongside the caption: "Okay, this Ayden Heaven kid looks really talented."

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the compilation.

One said: "I see an intelligent football player with huge potential, not the finished article but believe me he’s gonna be an amazing player if nothing hinders his development."

A second wrote: "I'm impressed, he only needs to develop on his final execution of the ball," and a third commented: "And he is being considered first team signing too."

A fourth said: "They are saying he plays like a midfielder, but are not realising how high Lisandro plays sometimes. He could be utilised in a similar manner."

A fifth added: "Got rinsed by Hojlund which is never a good sign considering Hojlund got pocketed by Archie Gray who isn’t even a CB. But he is only 18 so let’s see how he performs."

Thoughts on the deal? Let us know in the comments.
