Manchester United has signed Arsenal defender Ayden Heaven as part of a deal worth over £1million.

The 18-year-old centre-back made his Arsenal debut earlier this season and has featured for England up to Under-19s level.

Heaven has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract until June 2029, with the option of an additional year, and he will immediately join United’s first-team squad.

He was into the final six months of his scholarship terms at Arsenal and had declined the chance to sign a professional contract with the Gunners.

The 18-year-old had been attracting interest from German side Eintracht Frankfurt, but he has chosen to move to Old Trafford.

Heaven has regularly trained with the first team at Arsenal and made his senior debut in October during a Carabao Cup win at Preston.

The centre-back has been on the bench for games against United and Tottenham, while he was also part of the squad for Arsenal’s last-16 clash at Porto last season in the Champions League.

Speaking with MUTV, Heaven said, “I am incredibly proud to join Manchester United. I’m grateful to everyone who helped make this dream a reality.

“There is so much that I want to achieve in the game, I’ll be giving everything to continue my development and become the best player that I can be.”

Also, Man United Technical Director Jason Wilcox said: “We are delighted that Ayden has joined Manchester United. He is already an extremely talented defender who is ready to join our first-team squad to maximise his development.

“This club has a phenomenal track record of supporting young players, and we believe that Ayden is in the perfect place to reach his excellent potential.”

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
