'There is no ceiling to Heaven's potential'

With Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez harshly suspended and Matthijs de Ligt stricken with a long-term back injury, the fragility of that defence dominated the build-up.

Yet, the quartet was anything but fragile. I believe a social media dweller would say "the football scriptwriters cooked with this one".

United's three full-backs and 19-year-old centre-half overcame the adversity to keep a rare clean sheet and secure a season-defining three points.

Dalot needed to be at his best and he was. He pocketed starboy-turned-villain Alejandro Garnacho.

Shaw showcased his experience to keep possession and win smart fouls when United fell under the cosh.

Mazraoui had a particularly torrid night against Leeds five days prior. But he bounced back and his versatility is why his £17m acquisition was so shrewd.

And Heaven? Somewhat rash at times on the edge of United's box, but that's to be expected of a teenager who hadn't even played 30 minutes under Carrick before being thrown in the deep end at Stamford Bridge.

His physicality, his composure on the ball, his consistency at such a young age… Heaven shouldn't be bottom of the centre-back pecking order.

Arsenal's inability to see things through has become a common topic of jest in the football world.

United can be thankful that the Gunners also couldn't see Heaven's development through, instead handing him over for just £1m. There is no ceiling to his potential.
