Aston Villa consider Ollie Watkins not for sale amid interest from Manchester United.<\/p>\n

It is understood that has been communicated back to United after an initial inquiry was made.<\/p>\n

Watkins is one of a number of strikers United have looked at along with others including Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n

Villa do not want to sell Watkins, who is thought to carry a value in the region of \u00a360m.<\/p>\n

Villa have been keen on Alejandro Garnacho – a player United want to sell – but they are understood to be unable to meet their current asking price to buy him outright.<\/p>\n

Garnacho’s preference is to remain in the Premier League and play in the Champions League, but no such move has yet materialised despite some interest from Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Any potential deals for the two players would be separate.<\/p>\n

United’s focus is now on player sales after buying Bryan Mbeumo for \u00a371m from Brentford.<\/p>\n

After Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona, United are working on exits for Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia – as well as Garnacho.<\/p>\n
