Axel Tuanzebe, signed on loan from Manchester United in the summer transfer window, played well for Aston Villa against Middlesbrough.
Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Manchester United-owned defender Axel Tuanzebe against Middlesbrough on Saturday evening.
Tuanzebe, who joined Villa on loan from Premier League club United in the summer transfer window when Steve Bruce was the manager, featured for the Villans in their Championship game against Boro away from home at the Riverside Stadium.
The 21-year-old defender started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Dean Smith’s side won 3-0.
The youngster played well and looks to have formed a strong partnership with James Chester at the heart of the Villa defence.
According to WhoScored, Tuanzebe had a pass accuracy of 87%, won four headers, and made two tackles and five clearances.
The win against Tony Pulis’s Middlesbrough means that Villa are now eighth in the Championship table with 31 points from 20 matches, three points behind sixth-placed Sheffield United.
Villa fans were impressed with the performance of Tuanzebe – who earns £5000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – and have praised him on Twitter.
