Manchester United interested in Aston Villa ace amid Newcastle claim

Manchester United are still interested in Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn, according to reports. However, the 25-year-old has recently been linked with a move to Newcastle United. McGinn has developed into one of of the best value for money arrivals in recent history at Villa Park having cost under £3m from Hibs two years ago. He played an essential role in promotion from the Championship previous season and impressed on the Premier League stage before sustaining a fractured ankle in December. Villa's midfielder was first linked with a move to the Old Trafford last summer amid claims that legendary Sir Alex Ferguson was pushing for a move having watched his development closely. If no offer was done then with McGinn will sign a new and improved five-year deal at Villa. Steve Bruce, who signed McGinn for Villa, was this weekend linked with a £30m Newcastle bid for the former St Mirren player. McGinn has featured in 20 clashes for Dean Smith's side this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists. Source- BirminghamLive
