The Red Devils are completing a deal for another Arsenal youngster whose physical appearance reminds us of another promising player with an interesting name
Manchester United scouts know where to look in search of promising kids - at Arsenal.
After 17-year-old striker Chido Obi-Martin, who joined the Old Trafford outfit from the Gunners in October 2024, the Red Devils are on the verge of another deal with another talented Arsenal gem - Ayden Heaven.
The 18-year-old central defender made his senior debut with Mikel Arteta's side as a substitute in an EFL Cup win at Preston recently.
✍️ Manchester United snapped up Chido Obi-Martin, 17, from Arsenal in the summer.

As per sources, Heaven rejected a new deal from Arsenal, but also Eintracht Frankfurt's offer, and is just a step away from signing a long-term contract with Ruben Amorim's club following a medical, which is already booked.
Interestingly, Heaven won't be the only Manchester United defender with such a compelling surname, as he'll join Godwill Kukonki, a player of Congolese descent. He has been an unused sub in a couple of Premier League games. Kukonki, who'll turn 17 next week, has been Man United's player since 2014.
