Manchester United have shone a spotlight on Ayden Heaven after sharing a post-match reaction video of Ruben Amorim praising the teenager's performance in the 1-0 Boxing Day win over Newcastle United on their official X account .
As reported by SoftFootball , the victory ended United's long home drought and owed much to Heaven's assured display at the heart of defence, where he helped secure a vital clean sheet alongside Lisandro Martinez. The club's post-match reaction reflected a growing belief that a new defensive leader may be emerging at Old Trafford.
The video, which followed United's narrow success over Newcastle, captured Amorim explaining the thinking behind Heaven's rise, echoing themes already discussed by SoftFootball in its coverage of the game and the fans' reactions to the result .
