Aston Villa legend Gabriel Agbonlahor has vowed to move countries if Manchester United sign Ollie Watkins this summer.
He recently revealed that MUFC signing the prolific goalscorer would surely hurt him.
Reports have said that the Villa are reportedly eyeing a move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in case Watkins leaves the club.
Reacting, Agbonlahor disclosed that Aston Villa wouldn’t dare agree to such a deal, especially if the club is looking to sign free agent Calvert-Lewin as his replacement.
According to him, he’ll be very hurt if Watkins’ move to MUFC eventually happens because Ollie has been a very crucial player for Aston Villa.
“Why you lying for? Don’t lie. Don’t you dare, don’t you dare. Who put that in there? You think you’re going to take Watkins and we’re going to get Calvert-Lewin?
No way, I’d move countries. Because Man United, of all clubs, taking Ollie Watkins would really hurt me,” he said.
After signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo from Wolves and Brentford, respectively, Ruben Amorim is currently trying to add a new No.9 to his squad and further bolster the attack.
The Red Devils have narrowed their striker search to two candidates: Aston Villa’s Watkins and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
