Manchester United could lose huge star to Aston Villa in surprising transfer

Manchester United could sell a talented player to Aston Villa.

After a shocking start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign in the form of a 4-0 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion, the Midlands side wants to bolster its squad before the end of the transfer window.

Manchester United might sell Amad Diallo to Aston Villa

According to French outlet 225 Foot, Aston Villa have submitted an offer to Manchester United to sign Amad Diallo.

With the Ivory Coast star facing a major crossroads in his career, the team, which finished fourth in last year’s campaign, have taken their opportunity to pounce.

The 3x European Cup winners are yet to publicly react to the offer, with no further details regarding the finances revealed.

WOW: The incredible gesture Nemanja Vidic made that showed how amazing a teammate the Manchester United legend was

The midfielder made his mark under Michael Carrick in 2025/26, playing in 33 games, in which he scored twice and produced four assists.

However, with Bryan Mbeumo entering the fray, Diallo has fallen down the pecking order, which could result in him reconsidering his future.

Currently, the star is obliged to play at Old Trafford until 2030, with United having the option to extend his contract by another year, which puts them in a very good position at the negotiating table.
