Manchester United have reportedly identified Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn as a potential summer signing, according to The Sun.

The Red Devils are preparing a bid for the Scottish playmaker, but Villa’s asking price could be a sticking point.

The report states that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a big admirer of the 24-year-old midfielder following his impressive performances in the Championship.

The report goes on to claim, Villans are set to demand £50m for their star player despite signing him for just £2.75m from Hibernian a year ago.

Dean Smith’s side are hoping to tie down McGinn to a new long-term contract after the Scot scored in their 2-1 win over Derby County in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

The north-west giants have completed their second summer acquisition on Saturday when Aaron Wan-Bissaka completed a £50m move to the Old Trafford from Crystal Palace.

Manchester United have already signed Daniel James in a £15m deal from Swansea City last month.
