Man Utd rising star nearing return after injury fears 💪 | OneFootball

Some good news for Manchester United fans!

Ayden Heaven's injury isn’t as bad as it first seemed.

The 18-year-old defender had to leave the field early in the second half during United’s win over Leicester City last weekend. At first, it looked like a serious injury, as he was spotted leaving the stadium in a protective boot.

Heaven took to Instagram this week to let everyone know he's doing okay: “Thank you guys for all the support! I’ve read all your messages, and I’m recovering fast.”

Sources say Heaven’s already out of his boot and could be back in action after the international break. United’s next game is against Nottingham Forest on 1 April, so he might have just enough time to get match-ready.

The young centre-back has had a solid run this season, making four appearances, including starting the last two games. He’s definitely stepped up while other defenders like Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, and Jonny Evans have been out with injuries.
