Manchester United are laughing at Arsenal after securing two bargain signings

Ayden Heaven received the ultimate compliment from Ruben Amorim on the final day of the season.

Speaking after the 2-0 victory against Aston Villa, Amorim told MUTV: “I think once again Jason Wilcox is doing a great job bringing Ayden. I think these types of players are what we need.

"He showed a lot of quality and character after the big injury. We want these types of players.”

Heaven delivered another assured performance against Villa to end a positive debut season at the club, which suggested United secured a bargain when they signed him for around £1million.

Before Heaven's transfer from Arsenal was official, sources indicated he would be a first-team signing, which raised eyebrows considering he had only made one senior appearance.

Mikel Arteta handed Heaven his senior Arsenal debut in a Carabao Cup tie in October, but he rejected a new contract in London and relocated to Manchester for a small transfer fee.

Arsenal did what they could to keep Heaven, although they now may wish they had done a little bit more. Left-footed centre-backs are worth their weight in gold in modern football and Heaven has made a really pleasing start to life at Old Trafford, looking confident and composed at the back.

Heaven has looked like a bargain signing and will continue to develop. His strong displays have merited a starting role in the team and he will be hopeful of contributing more next season.

United signed a high-potential young defender and Heaven also has the right mentality away from the pitch to succeed, which was recently illustrated by him doing extra work with a private coach at his home.

Heaven was tagged in a social media post that showed him doing personal coaching and game study with Andy Mangan, the former League One
