Manchester United are keen on signing Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn in the summer.
That’s according to The Telegraph, with a number of Red Devils fans giving their thoughts to the news on social media.
United aren’t expected to be busy during the January transfer window, with the club turning their attentions towards a busy summer.
Midfield is thought to be an area where United want to strengthen, with McGinn featuring against Ralf Rangnick’s side in a 1-0 FA Cup defeat last week.
The Telegraph’s James Ducker revealed on Monday that the 27-year-old is admired by Old Trafford technical director Darren Fletcher and could be valued at around £40m. Should his contract situation remain the same in the Midlands, the Scot would have two years left on his deal in the summer, although he is expected to be offered new terms.
United fans react

“Wow”
“This is fantastic”
“This is ridiculous when he costs as much. He does why not get someone more suited to the manager like Zakaria whilst saving a lot of your money for a better player and get them now, I don’t really just see the point, just trying to throw us off surely!”
“These are the types of players we need 'work horse' ”
“Shame on Man United.”
“If we're even looking at this it’s absolutely ridiculous”
