Aston Villa reportedly want to sign Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe on loan in the summer transfer window.

Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce wants Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe at Villa Park next season, according to The Express & Star.

Tuanzebe spent the second half of the past season on loan at Villa Park, having moved to the Villans on loan from Premier League side United in the January transfer window.

It has been reported that Bruce is ready to approach United manager Jose Mourinho to see if the 20-year-old will be available for the 2018-19 campaign.

The Express & Star has also reported that Christopher Samba is expected to leave Villa in the summer transfer window.

Good move for Aston Villa?

Tuanzebe is a very talented and promising young defender, and it would not be a bad move for Villa to sign the defender on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.

Although the England Under-21 international was able to make just five appearances in the Championship for the Villans, there is no doubt that he is a very good defender.

United should also be willing to let Tuanzebe – who earns £5,000 per week as salary according to Spotrac.com – leave for Villa on loan to get some valuable playing time in a competitive playing time.
