Man Utd set to steal another youngster from Arsenal? Red Devils make contact with Ayden Heaven but face competition from Barcelona

Per Fabrizio Romano, United have made contact with Arsenal over a potential deal to sign Heaven from the Gunners. He is an England Under-19 international who plays as a centre-back and has already made his senior debut for the club, doing so in the Carabao Cup last season.

Heaven's deal expires in 2025 and the youngster is attracting plenty of interest. Eintracht Frankfurt and Barcelona have also made contact, while the Gunners have offered him a new contract.

Heaven has been capped at Under-18 and Under-19 level by England. He has worked his way through the Gunners' youth academy but United have set a precedent of snatching young talent, having previously secured Chido Obi-Martin from the north London club.

It is unclear if United will be able to sign the youngster this month. In the meantime, they face Fulham this Sunday, while Arsenal play Wolves.
