Aston Villa reportedly want Axel Tuanzebe of Manchester United.
It has been reported by the British tabloid that Tuanzebe will hold talks with United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Carrington before the Red Devils fly out for pre-season next month.
According to The Sun, Villa want to sign the 21-year-old defender, but the England Under-21 international has reportedly told his friends that he is prepared to show United that he is good enough to play for the first team.
No Aston Villa return?
Tuanzebe did well for Villa on loan from United, and one can understand why Villans’ boss Dean Smith reportedly wants him.
However, the defender – who earns £5,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is only 21 years of age, and he certainly has time on his hands to prove that he deserves to be at Old Trafford in the long run.
The youngster should stay at United for at least the first half of next season and then see where he is at in terms of his playing time at the Premier League club.
