Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe returns to Aston Villa for second loan spell

Aston Villa have announced they have signed defender Axel Tuanzebe on loan from Manchester United for the coming season.

Tuanzebe, 23, was sent out on loan to Villa for the 2018/19 campaign and was a big part of the team's successful promotion campaign back to the Premier League, making 28 appearances for them in The Championship.

He has struggled to regularly get into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side since returning to the club, making only nine starts in all competitions last season.
