Summary and Analysis
Manchester United’s victory over Leicester City was a hard-fought win, but it came at a cost. The departure of Ayden Heaven due to injury adds to the growing list of casualties for the Reds, who already have several key players sidelined. The two-week international break will provide an opportunity for the medical staff to assess and treat injuries, but the absence of key players like Heaven will be a significant challenge as United prepare for the second half of the season.
