According to recent reports, Watkins, a 29-year-old striker, could become a viable option for Manchester United. Watkins is said to be keen on the move, although Aston Villa is reluctant to sell him.
The club is facing financial challenges due to their Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) issues. As a result, they might be willing to accept a transfer offer between £40 million and £50 million.
Watkins has played for Aston Villa for five years, scoring 87 goals. He reportedly feels that it is time for him to move on from Villa Park.
