# Aston Villa: Fans react to Josh Feeney update

**Aston Villa and Manchester United are both interested in signing teenage defender Josh Feeney, according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.html).**

The Red Devils have [enquired](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.html) about a move for the Fleetwood Town youngster, but Villa are viewed as [front runners](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.html) for the 16-year-old centre-back. As to be expected, plenty of Villa supporters have been sharing their thoughts on the transfer update on social media.

Feeney, who is [yet to feature for Fleetwood at senior level](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josh-feeney/leistungsdaten/spieler/875929), already stands at [1.93m](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.html) (6 foot 4). He is captain of England’s under-16 side and [scored in a 6-0 win against Northern Ireland](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.html) four days ago.

It seems that he is catching the eye at both Villa Park and Old Trafford, and any deal could end up costing a significant six-figure sum. Feeney has the freedom to choose his next club from July onwards, according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9653399/Manchester-United-interested-England-16-captain-Josh-Feeney-summer.html).
