Manchester United youngster Ayden Heaven is believed to be renting the lavish mansion once occupied by Sir Alex Ferguson and his late wife Cathy. Situated in Cheshire, the 84-year-old Ferguson put the stunning property up for sale a month after Lady Cathy's passing at the age of 84.

The legendary former Reds boss found it challenging to sell the house, eventually letting it go for £3.25m, a quarter of a million less than the asking price. It's believed that Heaven, 19, is leasing the property from the person who bought the house.
