Heaven has played for England at various age groups. Heaven made two substitute appearances for United in the Premier League this season before starting against West Ham on 4 December in the centre of a three-man defence. He was booked after eight minutes and taken off at half-time, but has started all four matches since and improved significantly in each. "He is young, but you can feel that he has a good game, slows the thinking and improves during the game. "He trained really well and, if he continues to play like that, it is going to be really hard to take his place."
