Aston Villa want to keep hold of Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe.

Tuanzebe joined Villa in August on a season-long loan.

The Athletic reports Villa are happy to keep Tuanzebe on loan until the end of the season, even if he's not featured as much as he may like.

Tuanzebe has only made two substitute appearances under Steven Gerrard, and there has been talk of a January recall.

However, the centre-back looks set to see out the season at Villa Park.
