Man Utd defender Tuanzebe: Aston Villa feels like home

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is enjoying his football on-loan at Aston Villa.

The centre-half is on a season-long deal at Villa Park.

He said: “It's home for me here. It's not like I'm in a foreign dressing room, I know the lads really well and I know the manager really well. I understand our playing style very well.

“I helped bring the team up to the Premier League and I had some unfinished business in the Premier League, so it's good to be back."

Tuanzebe hopes to start tonight against Arsenal.

He also told the club's website: “Arsenal over the last few years have had a rocky spell, but it doesn't mean they're not going to perform come Friday.

“We still respect them, still think they're a top side and they still play football in a top manner. We have our game plan and know what we need to do to win.

“They're under pressure and need to win every game, teams like that can be very dangerous. They've got threats we need to nullify and then focus on how we beat them."
