Aston Villa have completed the signing of Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe on a loan deal until the end of the season, as confirmed by the club’s official website.
The hot prospect is the first signing the club have made this window as the push for promotion continues and he will start to train with his fellow teammates ahead of their fixture with Sheffield United next week.
He is highly valued by Jose Mourinho and can operate in defence and also in midfield.
A loan to a top Championship club is the perfect move for 20-year-old as he looks to gain the relevant experience ahead of going back to the club ahead of the next pre-season.
The United man has been at the club for 12 years and has seen it all in the youth ranks. He is still highly regarded as one of the best talents from the academy in recent years.
Upon his arrival, he spoke of his delight to have signed for Villa.
I am delighted to be here. It’s an exciting time at this football club and everyone is pushing for promotion – that’s the big aim, you can feel that here.
I am determined to help this club achieve its goal.
