Manchester United has signed 18-year-old centre-back Ayden Heaven from Arsenal in a deal worth over £1 million. Heaven, who made his Arsenal debut this season and has represented England at the Under-19 level, signed a four-and-a-half-year contract until June 2029, with an optional additional year.
Declining a professional contract offer from Arsenal, Heaven attracted interest from Eintracht Frankfurt but chose to join United’s first-team squad. He previously trained with Arsenal’s senior team, made his Carabao Cup debut against Preston, and featured on the bench for key matches, including Champions League games.
Heaven expressed pride in joining United, while Technical Director Jason Wilcox praised his potential, emphasizing United’s strong tradition of nurturing young talent.
