Transfer News: Manchester United eyeing Carney Chukwuemeka
According to transfer news from Mirror, Manchester United are pondering over a move for Carney Chukwuemeka. The Aston Villa academy product has broken onto the scene this season and United have kept tabs on him.
The 17-year-old midfielder is one of the best young players in the nation and has impressed in the Aston Villa academy. His progress has seen a number of clubs sit up and take notice.
The youngster was an unused substitute in Villa’s Premier League home games against Manchester City and Leicester City this season. He made his Premier League bow recently as Aston Villa pipped Spurs to a win.
Chukwuemeka is held in high regard at Villa. An imposing figure at 6ft, the Villa starlet is an attacking player who possesses excellent technical ability.
Chukwuemeka had an excellent opportunity to feature against Liverpool in the FA Cup earlier this season. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so after being caught in the COVID-19 outbreak at the club.
