Aston Villa do not want to sell John McGinn to Premier League rivals Manchester United in the summer of 2022, according to 90min.

90min have reported that Premier League rivals Manchester United want to sign McGinn from Villa.

The Scotland international midfielder’s ‘grit and leadership qualities’ have impressed the United boss.

However, according to the report, Villa do not want to sell the 27-year-old midfielder.

The Villans actually plan to open talks with McGinn over a new contract in the next 12 months.

Villa manager Steven Gerrard reportedly ‘believes he can help the Scot elevate his game to a whole new level’.

What should Aston Villa do with John McGinn?

In our opinion, Villa should keep McGinn, unless, of course, Manchester United make an offer that they simply cannot refuse.

Maybe £100 million, like Manchester City had to pay to get Jack Grealish in the summer of 2021.

McGinn is 27 now and is at the top of his game at the moment.

The Scotsman works hard in the middle of the park, makes himself an imposing figure in midfield, is always looking to drive the team forward, and is an asset.

Villa are going places under Gerrard, and if the Liverpool legend thinks that McGinn is special, then the club should not sell him.
