Axel Tuanzebe will sign a new contract with Manchester United on Friday, according to reports.

The defender impressed on loan at Aston Villa last season, helping them achieve promotion to the Premier League.

His performances lead to interest from Villa for a permanent deal.

According to the Daily Mail, Tuanzebe is determined to succeed at Old Trafford and will be given the chance to convince manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over preseason.

The 21-year-old will join his teammates for the club's preseason tour of Australasia on Sunday.
