The Red Devils have been linked with a deadline day move for one of Aston Villa's forwards.

Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a surprise move for Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey, as they are keen on bolstering their ranks before the close of the transfer window. 

Since the arrival of Ruben Amorim mid-season, the Red Devils have been linked with a number of players to help the Portuguese steady the ship. However, financial constraints have limited their activity. 

With the window winding to a close and Marcus Rashford’s imminent exit to Aston Villa, the Red Devils activity has spiked, and they are now linked with a shock move for Bailey.

The Details 

According to Goal, Amorim has taken a liking to Bailey and is keen on the Red Devils hierarchy bringing him to Old Trafford.

The deal, however, will be separately negotiated from the Rashford loan move. The England international already has a medical schedule, however, the prospective deal for Bailey is still in its early stages. 

The 27-year-old Jamaica international only recently signed a contract extension last year, keeping him at the club until 2027. With the departure of Jhon Duran to Saudi Arabia and Arsenal contemplating a second bid for Watkins, it remains to be seen if the Villans will contemplate negotiating the exit of another forward.
