Aston Villa fans react as Manchester United prepare bid for £50million-rated John McGinn

According to The Sun, Manchester United are set to bid for Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn, and the Scotland international could cost them £50 million.

The former Hibernian star cost the Villa Park outfit just £2.75 million last summer, but his worth has since skyrocketed after he hit the ground running and helped Daan Smith’s side to promotion.

Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to add homegrown youngsters who fit his long-term vision to the squad this summer, and has already captured the signings of Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

McGinn, 24, could be next, and it will be hard to see Villa turn United down if they are willing to pay £50 million.
