Man United fans are all saying same thing about Ayden Heaven’s performance vs Leicester City as ‘massive’ point is made

Man United hosted Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on Thursday evening for their second-leg last-16 tie and the Red Devils thumped the Spanish club 4-1 on the night.

An outstanding Bruno Fernandes hat-trick ensured the desired win for the Red Devils and United punched their ticket to the Europa League quarter-finals.

Now, in two different games in April, Ruben Amorim’s team will play Ligue 1 team Lyon in the Europa League quarterfinals.

The 40-year-old United manager’s greatest chance of earning a spot in the Champions League for the 2025–2026 season is through the current Europa League campaign.

Due to a patchy performance in the 2024–25 season, United is currently headed for their worst league finish in Premier League history.

With his performance in the first half at the King Power Stadium, Ayden Heaven cemented his spot in Manchester United’s starting lineup.

Since arriving at Old Trafford, the 18-year-old former Arsenal player has made an impression, and under Ruben Amorim, Heaven has already established himself in the United first squad.

Joining United’s youth academy in February, Heaven has already been elevated to senior level and has taken his chances for the Red Devils in the 2024-25 season.

The United defender made his first Red Devils start on Thursday evening and Heaven showed his class with his performance against Real Sociedad.

United fans on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, were devested after Heaven was stretchered off only minutes into the second half against Leicester City.

One X user wrote: “Just when Heaven was having such a class performance. United really is cursed.”

“Heaven was having a Man of the Match-type performance and now this,” another posted.

A third United fan said: “Massive performance for Heaven and [he] was looking good. So unlucky, so, so unlucky. Prayers up it’s not a huge injury.”

Somebody else commented: “Heaven off on a stretcher on a MOTM performance as well. Just awful.”

“Ayden Heaven, this injury won’t make me forget your performance,” a fifth added.

Another claimed: “I really hope [the] Heaven injury isn’t as serious as it seems. He’s honestly perfect profile-wise and is sound technically, too. Another top performance from him today.”

While a seventh Red Devils fan wrote: “Gutted for Ayden Heaven, thought he was fantastic, to see such a young player get stretchered off is a hard watch. Put in such a solid performance, [he] was very composed in possession. Had that awareness and in the
