The Championship outfit have been chasing Tuanzebe for a while now and are extremely interested in taking the promising youngster on loan until the end of the season.
Tuanzebe is not getting game time on a regular basis with the Red Devils due to the defensive options at Jose Mourinho’s disposal. This has prompted interest in the defender’s services, as he aims to gain first-team experience in the imminent future.
Villa want to recruit new options ahead of the remainder of the season, in which they will hope to press ahead with their efforts to challenge for promotion back up to the Premier League.
Tuanzebe is a hugely promising talent and is capable of playing in central defence or at right-back.
