“We Have Found a Real Player” – Amorim on Ayden Heaven’s Debut
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has praised Ayden Heaven, calling him a “real player” after his impressive Premier League debut against Arsenal.
Heaven, an 18-year-old defender, joined United from Arsenal’s under-21 team in January for a reported £1.5 million fee. He made his first appearance for the club in their FA Cup loss to Fulham but truly caught attention during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with his former club.
Heaven replaced Leny Yoro at halftime after the French defender picked up a foot injury. Despite the pressure, the young defender stayed calm and didn’t allow any Arsenal player to dribble past him, earning praise from both fans and the media.
Amorim was impressed by the teenager’s composure and performance. “Ayden Heaven is so calm, so relaxed — he doesn’t feel the pressure. I believe we’ve found a real player,” Amorim said after the match.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
