Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe 'eager to join Aston Villa permanently' with 23-year-old enjoying his third loan spell at Villa Park

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is reportedly eager to join Aston Villa permanently.

According to The Sun, the centre-back is settled at Villa, where he previously had two loan spells when the club was in the Championship.

The 23-year-old progressed through the ranks at United's academy and has made 37 first-team appearances.

However, it will be difficult for Tuanzebe to make a sustained breakthrough at Old Trafford and he is much more likely to receive regular playing time at Villa.
