Former Aston Villa defender Axel Tuanzebe hopes to make next season his breakthrough campaign at Manchester United. Tuanzebe is a fan favourite at Villa Park after his loan spells with the club between 2018 and the following year. The 23-year-old joined Villa and helped Steve Bruce’s side reach the play-off final, where they were beaten by Fulham.
Axel Tuanzebe said: “Being 23 now, I want to be playing week in, week out. I’ve had a taste of it, being at Villa. I enjoyed it. That’s something I wanted to replicate here. I haven’t had the run of games that I’ve hoped for, but, next season, I’ll definitely be playing football. When I was on loan, the pressure was obviously different. Not to say that Villa aren’t a big club, but you know, Man United are top of the top and the fans expect something. Even ourselves, we expect performances week in, week out, we expect wins week in, week out – no matter who the opponent is. You just need to understand that and take it from there really.”
