Manchester United are reportedly considering a summer move for 26-year-old Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa.
According to Football Transfers, Ezri Konsa is a target for Manchester United, and they are hoping to sign him from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.
It is no secret that Manchester United need to bring in defensive reinforcements this summer, and Konsa would be a quality long-term acquisition for them. The Englishman has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an upgrade on players like Jonny Evans.
In addition, Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane have been linked with moves away from Old Trafford. Manchester United might need to invest in more than one defender this summer, and it will be interesting to see who they end up signing.
Ezri Konsa could fancy Manchester United move
Konsa has been a key player for Aston Villa, and he will be attracted to the idea of joining a bigger club in the coming months. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down.
Even though the Red Devils might not be able to provide him with Champions League Football League season, they have the resources and the pull to get the deal done. Konsa is still only 26, and he is likely to improve with experience. He could develop into a top-class player for Manchester United in the coming seasons.
Even if Manchester United have to pay a premium for him now, he could end up justifying the investment. With that said, convincing Aston Villa to sell one of their best defenders will be a difficult task. The Villans have an ambitious project, and Unai Emery will not want to sell one of his best players. Villa are currently pushing for Champions League qualification, and they will be hoping to compete in Europe regularly.
They cannot afford to let keep players leave, and Manchester United might have to pay over the odds in order to convince them. But the Red Devils have also shown interest in other centre-backs, including Max Kilman.
