Tuanzebe, 23, has remained a fringe player for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, despite a hugely impressive performance in last season’s Champions League against Paris-Saint Germain.
Now expected to continue his development and rack up some much-needed first-team minutes, the 23-year-old is expected to be officially unveiled as an Aston Villa player in the coming days.
CaughtOffside note that despite earlier reports (Telegraph) the Midlands club will try and sign him on a permanent deal, an option to buy has not been included in the deal.
