Axel Tuanzebe will join Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United for the remainder of the season.

The 20-year-old travelled with Jose Mourinho's squad for their mid-season training camp in Dubai, having appeared twice for United this season.

He was handed a rare appearance under Jose Mourinho in December's Champions League win over CSKA Moscow.

The defender made a very brief appearance in the 1-0 New Year's Day win at Everton - where he was substituted on in the last minute - but will join Steve Bruce's Villa in search of regular game time.

Villa are fifth in the Championship and in the running for a spot in this year's playoffs at the very least as they sit just five points short of Derby in second.

The two-time under 21 Premier League winner is unlikely to play against Nottingham Forest, but could be available for a home debut against Barnsley next weekend.
