Amorim will be forced into hasty decision after 4/10 stinker from Man Utd star who ignored Mount’s advice | OneFootball

While Manchester United and Bournemouth descended into chaos, the young Ayden Heaven struggled to keep up with the action.

The Red Devils took a one-goal lead on three occasions, but lost it thrice, as the contest ended in a 4-4 draw.

While this was an instant classic that certainly delighted the neutrals on Monday evening, the Man Utd supporters at Old Trafford couldn’t help but feel that their team wasted another golden opportunity to break into the Top Five.

Ayden Heaven struggled against Bournemouth

Sadly for Heaven, he has been identified as one of the main culprits at the back, as he was directly responsible for the Cherries’ first two strikes.

Heaven, who was hailed for his ‘fantastic’ performances by Wayne Rooney last season, hasn’t been able to impress in recent weeks.

Interestingly, the 19-year-old was urged by his teammate Mason Mount, to engage with Antoine Semenyo on Bournemouth’s first equaliser, as revealed by The Sun journalist Samuel Luckhurst. However, the young defender allowed the pacey winger to enter the box before losing the duel.

The Arsenal youth product was also too slow to react to Evanilson’s run on the second Bournemouth goal. Hence, The Sun’s Katherin Walsh handed him an abysmal rating of 4/10.

The journalist also suggested that Ruben Amorim will be looking to put a swift end to Ayden’s experience at the heart of the backline, even if it means rushing Lisandro Martinez back to the lineup.

The Argentine has recently returned to action after a 10-month layoff due to an ACL tear he suffered in February. However, Amorim has yet to start him, preferring to slowly reintegrate the 2022 World Cup winner back into the action to avoid a relapse.

Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are considered Man Utd’s main choices for the central defender role, but the manager admitted he’s not sure whether either of the two will be available for the next contest against Aston Villa.

Regarding Heaven, it should be said that his experiment at the heart of the backline has been ill-fated, but last season, he had shown promising signs while filling in for Martinez on the left side of the back-three, which appears to be his most natural role.
