Man United and Aston Villa are both keen to sign 23 year old French star. Villa have already made the bid to sign the player. The player had an impressing season in Ligue 1 and is now said to move to a bigger club.
The star in question here is Lucas Chevalier. He is 23 years old French keeper who plays for Lille. This season, he played in 48 games and has impressed everyone with his shot-stopping skills. He is very likely to join a bigger club this summer.
Man United are in need of a new keeper this summer. They are yet to decide about Andre Onana. The former Inter star has failed to impress at Old Trafford. He has commited multiple errors which have costed the Red Devils.
On the other hand, Aston Villa are also in need of new keeper. Martinez is likely to depart in the summer window. The Argentine has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi. As a result, a new keeper is top priority for Unai Emery.
Man United & Aston Villa to fight for Chevalier
According to Caught Offside, United are showing strong interest in Chevalier. The report adds that the French keeper is also a top target for Aston Villa. Lastly, the report states that the Birmingham club have already submitted a bid worth around £40 million to sign him.

Chevalier will be a great addition to any of the Premier League giants. He can be easily convinced as joining any of them will be a major step-up in his career. He will be looked upon as a long-term investment. Lastly, Lille will demand a hefty fee as the player is in demand right now.
Firstly, Andrea Onana is likely to get sold in the summer window. But, the Cameroon international is keen to fight for his position. However, it is looking very late for him to keep his spot secure at Old Trafford as Ruben Amorim is plotting a summer overhaul.
