Ayden Heaven Chooses England Over Ghana After Man Utd Breakthrough

The choice reflects his rapid rise at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • BBC-linked reporting states the 19-year-old will pursue senior England representation, ending the prospect of a Ghana switch before the 2026 World Cup.
  • He qualifies for Ghana through a grandparent and had been tracked by the Ghana FA, with Ghana drawn in England’s group alongside Croatia and Panama.
  • He was man of the match in Manchester United’s 1-0 Boxing Day win over Newcastle, registering eight clearances and near-perfect passing as United recorded only their second clean sheet of the league season.
  • Manager Ruben Amorim praised steady improvement, with Gary Neville and Roy Keane lauding the defender’s performance after the Newcastle victory.
  • He joined from Arsenal in February for about £1 million, has represented England at U18, U19 and U20 levels, and has earned a run of starts following recovery from an October ankle injury.
