He had to be carried off on a stretcher amid fears he might miss the rest of the season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>"It's hard to understand because when he was on the ground he could not speak," Amorim told a press conference. "He's so young, its hard to understand what he's feeling. We'll see next week."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>Heaven, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ayden-heaven-press-baiting-defender-man-utd-have-stolen-from-arsenal/bltd3a9fc3a701a15b6" target="_blank">joined the club from Arsenal in January</a>, was making just his fourth senior appearance for United and his first Premier League start after an impressive 45 minutes off the bench last week against Arsenal and a solid full debut in the Red Devils' 4-1 win over Real Sociedad. He had looked comfortable during the match, making an impressive block on Wilfred Ndidi's first-half effort and also calmly winning possession back outside his own area to halt a dangerous Leicester breakaway.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Heaven's injury leaves United with just two three fit experienced defenders in the squad: Victor Lindelof, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui. Amorim gave Harry Amass - who was celebrating his 18th birthday - his senior debut when he brought him on in the second half. Heaven's injury worsened a dire situation for United in defence, with Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw already missing.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>United will release further information on Heaven's injury after doing tests on him next week. The Red Devils have more than two weeks off owing to the international break and they will be hoping that Maguire and Yoro can be back in time for their next game, away to Nottingham Forest on April 1. It is set to be a huge month for United, who face Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals as well as hosting arch-rivals Manchester City in the Premier League.</p>
