Manchester United secured a commanding victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, but the win was overshadowed by a serious injury to 18-year-old Ayden Heaven.
Heaven Stretchered Off in Distressing Scenes
The former Arsenal prospect, who had been one of United’s standout performers, went down in clear distress, clutching his leg. The game was paused for five minutes, and Sky Sports opted not to show replays of the incident.

Despite the emotional blow, United dominated the match:
- Rasmus Højlund opened the scoring with his first goal of 2025.
- Alejandro Garnacho doubled the lead.
- Captain Bruno Fernandes sealed the three points with a clinical finish.
Leicester’s Woes Deepen Under Van Nistelrooy
