Ayden Heaven is enduring a difficult opening spell at Old Trafford. The youngster was turned too easily by Callum Wilson on halfway and has been dragged out of position several times by Jarrod Bowen, with West Ham clearly targeting his inexperience in the centre of United’s back three.

Heaven’s crude tackle earlier earned him a yellow card, leaving him walking a tightrope for more than 80 minutes. Moments ago, Wilson again had him on toast, with the defender almost bringing him down as he stretched desperately to recover.

Not an easy Premier League first start for the young defender.
