Aston Villa are hoping to lure a Man Utd star to Villa Park, with a potential bargain £7m offer deemed likely to succeed, according to a report.
Aston Villa have taken a giant leap forward this season under the guiding hand of Dean Smith. The club narrowly avoided relegation last season, making their mid-table safety this campaign all the more impressive.
The hallmark of their surge has undoubtedly been their sturdy backline. Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings have formed a formidable defensive pairing. Indeed, the duo have both thrust their names into contention for a spot in England’s Euro 2021 squad.

Klopp, however, insists there is no extra motivation for beating United despite his side now trailing by three points. Winning a football game, winning against United is enough in itself, he added. It is not necessary that there are special add-ons. We play at home against United and we want to win. They are in the situation they are, they got the points, they deserved the points, we have got ours and the season still has a long way to go so it is not like we talk about if we win we go ahead of them.
