Manchester United's victory over Leicester City on Sunday was a near-perfect night for Ruben Amorim.

United controlled the game, scored three goals, saw two of their forwards end long goal droughts and kept a clean sheet. However, Ayden Heaven's injury ensured it wasn't quite the perfect evening's work.

The youngster had impressed once again in the first half of the win over the Foxes. He has been one of United's best performers since coming into the side and has helped bring a sense of calmness to the backline.

Heaven had to be taken off on a stretcher following an innocuous tangle with Patson Daka early in the second half. He immediately raised his arm to signal his need for medical attention and medical staff from both teams treated him.

MEN Sport later confirmed Heaven had been spotted leaving the King Power Stadium with his right leg in a protective boot, although the fact he was able to walk out of the stadium without crutches did offer something of a positive update.

Ruben Amorim was asked about Heaven's injury after the game by broadcasters and during his post-match press conference. He told the BBC: "We have to evaluate during the week. He's a young kid and he doesn't know how to explain what he's feeling - it is a hard one for us to know. He's a bit calm now but we have to assess in the week."

Amorim was then asked about the youngster at his post-match press conference. He said: "We will see next week. It’s hard to understand because even when he’s on the ground, he can’t speak, he doesn’t know how to explain what he’s feeling because he’s so young. It’s hard to understand what he’s feeling."

United are expected to issue an update on the youngster's injury this week.
