Aston Villa legend Allan Evans believes Christian Benteke can play his way to a big summer move this season.
Evans wrote in the Daily Star Sunday: "I am a Villa man and I do not want us to lose our best players but I understand that at 24, he is coming into the best years of his career and wants to make the most of those.
"I very nearly had the chance to go to Manchester United when we were struggling and I think I would probably have gone because of the way things were then.
"United ended up signing Steve Bruce so that big move didn't happen for me but it could for Christian.
"I just hope he keeps us up before he moves."
