Manchester United interested in Aston Villa's John McGinn
Aston Villa are determined to keep hold of influential midfielder John McGinn amid interest from Manchester United.
United are keen on the industrious Scotsman, and believe he could re-energise their midfield.
But Dean Smith sees the former Hibs player, who cost £2.75million last summer, as a crucial cog in his plans for Villa’s return to the Premier League.
The club have no intention of selling the 24-year-old, who won player of the year last season, and it would take a huge offer to bring them to the table.
They are focused on strengthening their squad, and are expected to complete the signing of left-back Matt Targett this week.
The 23-year-old arrives from Southampton in search of regular football in a deal worth £11m up front rising to a potential £17m with add-ons.
