Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is eager to stay with Aston Villa.

Tuanzebe is currently on-loan at Aston Villa for the season, with the deal not carrying a permanent option.

The Birmingham Mail says the 23 year-old defender is happy at Villa Park and wants to stay beyond the end of this season.

Tuanzebe is highly rated at United, though could be allowed to leave given the arrival of Raphael Varane and the progress of Teden Mengi.

The young defender has played six games for Villa this season.
