Plenty of Aston Villa fans want Morgan Sanson to start against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Several supporters made their feelings known to the club’s official Twitter post on the French midfielder on Tuesday evening.

Sanson's slow start

The 26-year-old, who arrived from Marseille on a four-and-a-half-year deal back in January, has made seven appearances for his new club.

However, Dean Smith has only handed Sanson one start during that time. That came in the 0-0 draw with Wolves a Villa Park, with Sanson brought off on the hour mark that evening.

He’s already received three yellow cards in his 158 minutes of Premier League action, but it appears as if some of the Villa faithful want to see him feature from the off against Jose Mourinho’s side at Villa Park.

The club decided to post a picture of Sanson along with an emoji of the French flag. This is what these supporters had to say to the post, with a large section demanding Sanson receives more starts, beginning this weekend.
