Ayden Heaven was asked about Manchester United’s next manager during his appearance on Capital XTRA Breakfast

Manchester United defender Ayden Heaven has revealed he doesn’t mind who the manager is at the club, as long as they are successful.

Michael Carrick is currently in interim charge at Old Trafford until the end of the season after Ruben Amorim was sacked in January. In eight games, United have won six and climbed into the Premier League top three places.

However, it is currently unclear whether United will stick with Carrick beyond the summer, or appoint a permanent successor. Speaking on Capital XTRA Breakfast on Friday morning, Heaven was asked on his thoughts on the manager situation at United.

Asked who he believes will be the manager for the new season, he replied: “I don’t mind, honestly. I’m just waiting to see, you know. Just whatever’s going to get us over the line.”

Heaven has only played seven minutes across three games since Carrick came in. He came off the bench briefly in the 2-0 win against Manchester City, before enjoying a short cameo in the victories against Everton and Crystal Palace.

He had started all seven of Amorim’s final games in charge of United and had been handed a start by Darren Fletcher in the 2-2 draw against Burnley. Carrick has preferred Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez in his opening two months in charge.

United’s plan of what’s to come in the summer regarding the head coach position is currently unclear. Despite currently sitting in the Champions League spots, there remain some doubts over Carrick.

Ahead of this weekend’s huge clash against Aston Villa, Jamie Carragher insisted that Unai Emery should be among the top contenders to come in. “Unai Emery should be heading to Old Trafford this weekend as the frontrunner to become the next Manchester United manager,” he said in his column with The Telegraph.

“I suspect he does not rank high among the candidates. That is good news for Aston Villa, but it must be frustrating for one of the best, and still most underrated, coaches in Europe. For Emery not to be under serious consideration says plenty about modern football. By any metric, he would be the perfect coach to revive United. For me, only Pep Guardiola ranks higher of those currently managing in England.

“Here is a manager who wins trophies, has a clear football vision, a track record of revitalising clubs in need of a mini-revolution to break into the Champions League, and who demands respect while leading with authority. Add the fact he is now proven in the Premier League, and such coaches are in short supply.”
