However they are said to be leading the race for him this summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report states that Aston Villa will be asking for a high transfer fee, which would put some suitors off making a move. Barcelona are among the interested parties but it is United who appear to be most keen to sign him. </p>
