Manchester United are turning to Aston Villa ace Ollie Watkins in their search for a new centre-forward signing.

The Mirror says United are in contact with Villa for the England international, 29.
However, Villa are in a strong bargaining position given Watkins' deal runs to 2028 and United's lack of European football next season.
Villa rate Watkins at £60m - which is deemed too steep by United given the player's age.
