Ayden Heaven was one of three players invited from the U21 squad to train with the England first team on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It would be fair to say Ayden Heaven\u2019s<\/a> career has gone from strength to strength since his transfer to Manchester United from Arsenal<\/a> at the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n

Heaven was one of two signings made by Ruben Amorim<\/a> in his former United head coach\u2019s<\/a> first transfer window. He made his first start for the Red Devils in March 2025 against Real Sociedad in the Europa League<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The England youth international has made a total of 21 appearances for the first team.<\/p>\n

Ayden Heaven was a BARGAIN\u2026 How much is he worth now? <\/p>\n

Heaven has seen his game time cut since Carrick became interim head coach<\/a> in early January.<\/p>\n

Still only 19, Heaven cannot be unhappy with the fact he\u2019s already made 16 appearances this season, including three substitute cameos under Carrick.<\/p>\n

Heaven was called up to the England U21 squad for the upcoming international break, but today he reached another milestone in his career.<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports reporter duo Danyal Khan<\/a> and Rob Dorsett, Heaven was invited to train with Thomas Tuchel\u2019s<\/a> England first team on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It was the first time Heaven had trained with England\u2019s senior team, and he will be hoping the introduction leads to more opportunities after the 2026 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heaven would have joined the United duo Harry Maguire<\/a> and Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> in the training session.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good opportunity for Heaven, a talented player with tremendous potential. The experience of training with other senior professionals will only make him better.<\/p>\n

Are you confident Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven can handle Leeds with Harry Maguire suspended? <\/p>\n

What did you think of Maguire’s sending off vs Bournemouth?<\/p>\n

Heaven may be in contention to get his first start under Carrick when United take on rivals Leeds in the Premier League<\/a> following the international break and FA Cup<\/a> quarter-finals, the latter of which the Red Devils regrettably have no involvement in.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a 24-day break for United, and the club have already arranged a four-day training camp in the Republic of Ireland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heaven may be a contender to start alongside Leny Yoro<\/a>, unless Lisandro Martinez returns<\/a> from injury in time.<\/p>\n
