Manchester United is reportedly being urged to sign Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn, a 24-year-old who played a key role in his team's promotion to the Premier League last season.
According to a report, Sir Alex Ferguson, a former Manchester United manager, has told the club's chiefs to sign McGinn before the transfer window closes.
McGinn's impressive performance in the Championship last season has caught the attention of Manchester United, with Ferguson believing that the midfielder's energy and goal threat would be valuable assets to the team.
However, Manchester United will have to pay a hefty sum of £50 million to secure McGinn's services, a price that may be a challenge for the club.
With France international Paul Pogba on the verge of leaving Manchester United, the club will need a good replacement, and McGinn's approval by Ferguson may be enough to convince the club's decision-makers that he is worth the investment.
