Manchester United transfer 'decision made' on Aston Villa old boy

Former Aston Villa loanee Axel Tuanzebe will leave Manchester United this summer.

Tuenzebe, 24, arrived on loan at Villa Park for the third time last summer but the deal was cut short in January in favour of a move to Napoli as the defender went in search of regular game time.

Tuanzebe's agent, Dimitri Tuanzebe, told ESPN : "Axel didn't decide to move until it became very clear that he isn't the manager's first-choice centre-back and the Napoli offer was very tempting.

"I have a lot of mixed emotions when it comes to Axel's time at Villa. He is loved by the fans as he contributed highly to the club's success in the Championship where he was one of the key players that helped Villa return to the Premier League.

"However, following the arrival of Steven Gerrard at Villa Park, it felt as if the rivalry between Man United and Liverpool came to life."

Sadly, the exit from Villa did not go to plan for Tuanzebe. He struggled with an injury to his lower back which limited him to just one appearance off the bench for the Italian side in Serie A.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to issue an update regarding the former Villa man's future. He said: "Both Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe are set to leave Manchester United this summer - decision made. Diogo Dalot’s expected to stay at Manchester United this summer, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has chances to leave waiting for new proposals."
