Aston Villa unexpectedly opened the opportunity for MU in the deal of Ollie Watkins for about £ 50 million.
MU has the opportunity to recruit Ollie Watkins
At the beginning of the summer transfer period, MU successfully recruited Matheus Cuha from Wolves. But Man Utd's summer shopping plan did not stop at the Brazilian striker. Bryan Mbeumo is also targeted to thicken the attack.
However, the MBEumo deal has been delayed for quite a long time. This striker also considers the possibility of joining Tottenham with his former teacher Thomas Frank. MU is calculating the plan to change to another deal to avoid being stuck in the case of Mbeumo.
In the context of the trapped Mbeumo deal, MU suddenly received a “green light” from Aston Villa. Unai Emery's team is ready to let Ollie Watkins leave the team if Man Utd makes an attractive offer.

Earlier, Villa was relatively drastic and wanted to keep the British striker. Man Utd is not the first name to bring Watkins from Villa. Arsenal is the most interested team of this striker during the summer, before changing to Gyokeres.
It is known that Aston Villa offers £ 50 million for Ollie Watkins's signature. However, this figure is said to be high for a striker that is nearly 30 years old. But the contract between Watkins and Villa is valid until 2028 and Villa does not want this striker to leave easily.
The team of coach Unai Emery also wants to ensure the thickness of the squad to be ready for the new season. With Marcus Rashford leaving Villa Park back to MU, Jhon Duran docked Fenerbahce, Watkins is a small choice that coach Unai Emery has for the striker position.
However, the current financial situation of Villa may cause this team to consider selling Watkins, especially after missing the Champions League ticket next season.
Manchester United is said to have taken the first step in the player of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa, opening the possibility of bringing the Argentine world champion to Old Trafford right this summer.
Manchester United and Chelsea are considering a plan to exchange hit players in the summer transfer window, with two notable names: Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson.
More than 1 month deadlock in the Bryan Mbeumo deal, Man United continued to receive more cold water when Brentford Club decided to increase prices.
