Manchester United may be prepared to send center back Axel Tuanzebe on loan next season.

The Red Devils are likely to sign a defender in the transfer window, while they have the likes of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly in the first team squad.

Per journalist Jonathan Shrager, Tuanzebe will spend the entire upcoming season away from the club.

United want the youngster to prove that he can handle playing week in week out. One possibility is a return to Aston Villa, where Tuanzebe played under Dean Smith in the Championship in the 2018/2019 season
