Man Utd defender returned to Aston Villa on loan
The Red Devils defender will spend another season at Villa Park.
defender Axel Tuanzebe has returned to Aston Villa for his second spell at the club.
During his first spell at Villa, Tuanzebe helped the team return to the Premier League in the 2018-19 season, and he will join the team for the second time after a successful season under Dean Smith. At Manchester United, he was behind Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly and did not receive enough time to play, but at Villa Park he will probably play more games.
The Red Devils have issued a statement announcing the transfer of their defender to Aston Villa for one season. It is also stated in the contract that the Villa has an option to extend the contract for one more year.
The club's press release reads:
"Axel Tuanzebe will spend the 2021-22 campaign on loan at Aston Villa after agreeing a season-long move to the Premier League club,"
"The 23-year-old has also signed a new contract at Manchester United, lasting until June 2023 with the option of an additional year's extension.
"Having endured a difficult campaign last time out due to a couple of injuries, the highly-rated centre-back will use this loan as a vital opportunity to assert himself and make an impression.
"Axel will return to the United set-up at the end of the 2021-22 season."
