‘Impressing again’: Man United player who cost just £1m hailed after mediocre first-half

Manchester United are currently level 1-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Joshua Zirkzee handed the home side the lead midway through the first half, but Manchester United struggled to assert their dominance and control the game. Wolves were quite impressive despite going 1-0 down, and they fought their way back into the game with a goal late on in the first half.

Ladislav Krejci scored towards the end of the first half with an outstanding header to bring his team on level terms.

Ayden Heaven attracts praise again

Overall, it was a mediocre first half from Manchester United, and there were boos from the home fans at halftime. However, the talented young defender Ayden Heaven is ‘impressing again’, and BBC reporter Simon Stone has claimed that the young defender deserves all the praise for the opening goal of the game.

He added: “Joshua Zirkzee gets the goal but Ayden Heaven gets all the praise. “The youngster stepped in to win possession in the first place, then had the confidence to carry the ball forward to the edge of the penalty area. “Heaven has really impressed over the past few games. He has also committed to England despite Ghana hoping he will play for them.”

Manchester United should be winning these games at home if they want to compete in European football next season. It will be interesting to see if they can raise their performance levels during the second half. There is no doubt that they are the better team, and they have the quality to win this game comprehensively.

Meanwhile, Heaven cost Manchester United just £1 million in compensation, and he is slowly establishing himself as an important first-team player. Ruben Amorim will be delighted with his maturity and composure so far.
