Manchester United fans make Axel Tuanzebe demand after Aston Villa performance vs Leeds

Manchester United fans want to see on-loan defender Axel Tuanzebe part of the first team set-up next season, after watching him impress for Aston Villa on Sunday.

Tuanzebe has had an injury-hit season at Villa Park in his second loan spell at the club, but has been in fine form whenever he has played.

And he continued that momentum for the trip to Elland Road, with Villa securing a point in controversial circumstances.

Mateusz Klich had put the home side ahead, catching the Villa defence off guard as Leeds had indicated they would put the ball out of play for an injury. After a melee between the sides saw Tuanzebe's teammate Anwar El Ghazi sent off, Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa ordered his team to let Villa walk through and equalise.

However, United fans were more interested in Tuanzebe's showing in the game, after a season of indifferent performances from their central defenders.

With the summer transfer window sure to see defensive reinforcements join, fans were keen to see Tuanzebe return to Old Trafford and form part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first team squad.
