Manchester United has been handed an injury scare ahead of next weekend’s clash with Liverpool, with Ruben Amorim still waiting to find out the full extent of defender Ayden Heaven’s problem. Both sides will be keeping their fingers crossed that their players come through the break unscathed, although United looks to have been handed an issue, with Heaven having raised fears over his fitness while away with England U20s.

Heaven joined United from Arsenal earlier this year, and played six times for Amorim’s side as they struggled with injuries during the latter stages of the season.

Given Amorim’s insistence on playing a back three though, Heaven could be given more opportunities, although a potential injury would come as another blow to United. The 26-year-old picked up a thigh problem during last weekend’s defeat to Chelsea, and had been training away from the rest of his international teammates.
