# Aston Villa: Fans love Axel Tuanzebe update

**Aston Villa are expected to land Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe on a season-long loan, according to [Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1422913203240067075).**

Well-known Villa page [@villareport](https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1422912367181144065) shared the news on the defender, which left many Villa supporters delighted.

[Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1422913203240067075) claimed live on Wednesday that Tuanzebe is set to sign a one-year contract extension at Old Trafford before moving to the Midlands for a third loan spell.

The 23-year-old spent the second half of the [2017/18](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42818253) season at Villa Park and the entirety of the [2018/19](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45084058) campaign, helping the club earn promotion to the Premier League.

He’s made a total of [35](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/axel-tuanzebe/leistungsdaten/spieler/342046) appearances for Villa and it appears as if he will link up with Dean Smith once again on a temporary basis.

Tuanzebe looks set to become Villa’s [fifth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405) summer signing and will more than likely provide cover to Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa, while also having the ability to play at [right-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/axel-tuanzebe/profil/spieler/342046) if required.
