Manchester United might not be having the best of times on the pitch so far this season, with the club not necessarily in the running for a Champions League spot either.
However, this has not stopped them from retaining a certain pull in the transfer market, especially when it comes to talented youngsters.
News – Man Utd agree £40million terms in fee and wages to finalize signing – Reports
There are certain clubs in European football who have an allure when it comes to the transfer market. Barcelona and Real Madrid undoubtedly are at the pedestal of this pull when it comes to players in the transfer market, irrespective of where they stand from a sporting or financial perspective.
Although not at the same level, one would have to say that Man Utd also enjoy this to an extent.
Everyone is aware that Manchester United are in a revamp and this should see a lot of youngsters get a chance, as much as they show they have what it takes to play for the club.
It is worth mentioning here that Ruben Amorim also has a track record of developing youngsters and making them stars and this should definitely add to their decision-making.
Now, it has emerged, as per today’s edition of MEN that Man Utd are close to signing Arsenal youngster Ayden Heaven, who has rejected a contract from the Gunners and is set to make the switch to Manchester.
TBR Football had mentioned that Liverpool are also interested in signing the 2006-born youngster but it looks like the Red Devils have beaten their arch rivals in this pursuit. It is always sweet when we get one over the Merseyside club, both on and off the pitch.
Fabrizio Romano has given his trademark ‘Here we go’ on this transfer, which is usually understood to be the unofficial confirmation that a transfer is definitely happening, just before the club actually makes it official.
One can now consider it a matter of time before Man Utd officially announce the capture of Ayden Heaven.
This is the second youngster that the Manchester-based club are poaching from under Arsenal’s noses in less than six months, having already signed the extremely talented Chido Obi-Martin from the Gunners earlier this season. Heaven is said to be considered in the first-team picture by Ruben Amorim.
A left-footed central defender who can play in one of the three central defensive roles in Amorim’s system, Heaven can also play as a left-back if required.
If he is considered in the first-team picture, it is only a matter of time before he makes his first team debut for Manchester United and let’s wait and see how it plays out.
