Aston Villa ace Axel Tuanzebe could be available to buy this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, Aston Villa defender Axel Tuanzebe is likely to flogged by Manchester United this summer in an Old Trafford clearout.
The Red Devils have now appointed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their permanent manager after a successful interim stint in charge, and he will be looking to make changes this summer.
Major reinforcements will be needed at Old Trafford, but Solskjaer also needs to clear out the deadwood, with the likes of Marcos Rojo, Alexis Sanchez, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia primed to go.
Ander Herrera and Juan Mata are set to move on for free, and the Daily Mail now claim that Timothy Fosu-Mensah and fellow young defender Axel Tuanzebe are likely to be moved on too.
Tuanzebe, 21, has come up through the United ranks, but has made just eight first-team appearances, and has spent more than a year out on loan at Aston Villa.
It’s unclear whether United would sell or loan Tuanzebe, but with little chance of first-team football at Old Trafford, they may well be willing to sell the DR Congo-born ace for the right price.
That would surely interest Villa, who have seen Tuanzebe rack up 26 appearances for the club during two loan spells, having been signed twice by Steve Bruce.
Tuanzebe would come at a decent cost, but having impressed in the Championship and shown that he has great potential, he may well be worth the money for Villa – or another Championship side.
