Man United's Heaven faces injury uncertainty after horrific tackle

Heaven had been impressive throughout Sunday's match, but his evening took a drastic turn early in the second half, when a clash with Leicester striker Patson Daka left him in visible pain.

The young defender was unable to continue after the tangle, requiring extensive medical attention from both Manchester United and Leicester City's medical teams. In what were worrying scenes, Heaven was stretchered off the pitch as the match continued with United leading comfortably 3-0.

Heaven, who joined United from Arsenal in January, was later seen leaving the King Power Stadium with his foot in a brace, heightening concerns that he may be facing a prolonged period on the sidelines.

Following the match, United manager Ruben Amorim offered a concerning update on Heaven's condition. "We will see next week," Amorim said. "It's hard to understand because even when he's on the ground, he can't speak. He doesn't know how to explain what he's feeling because he's so young. It's hard to understand what he's going through."

The manager's comments have raised questions as to whether the young defender is struggling to describe the extent of his pain or whether his inexperience in dealing with injuries is contributing to his difficulty in articulating his sensations.

The full extent of his injury is yet to be confirmed, but Manchester United and fans are eagerly awaiting further updates on his condition.
