Aston Villa’s hopes of extended deal for loan star dented by parent club

Aston Villa’s loaned in centre-back Axel Tuanzebe is to be given the chance to prove himself in the first team at Manchester United, The Mirror has reported.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will give Aston Villa defender Axel Tuanzebe the chance to make his way into the Red Devils’ first-team ahead once his loan spell at Villa Park expires, the Mirror has claimed.

Tuanzebe has been a strong performer in Aston Villa’s defence over the course of the season, despite missing nearly three months due to injury. The young defender has played 27 games in all competitions, providing one assist and helping keep five clean sheets along the way.

The 21-year-old has impressed alongside Tyrone Mings in centre-back in recent weeks, also filling in at right-back in the earlier stages of the season.

It was reported in March that the English youngster could extend his stay with the club beyond the end of the season, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will reportedly give him the chance to prove his worth in Manchester United’s pre-season friendlies.

The news comes as a dent to Aston Villa’s hopes to try and keep some of their loan stars beyond the end of this season. Loanees such as Tyrone Mings and Anwar El Ghazi have impressed since their arrivals, but Villa are unlikely to be able to bring them in on permanent deals unless they win promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs.

After impressing in the Championship, Manchester United could look to loan Tuanzebe out to a Premier League club next season if he fails to make his mark on the first-team – still giving Villa some faint hope of a possible deal, if they win the play-offs, that is.
