Villa To Beat Rovers For United's Simpson?
Manchester United full-back Danny Simpson could be moving out of Old Trafford on loan - but while Blackburn Rovers or Manchester City looked favourite to sign him, Aston Villa could yet hijack that deal and take Simpson to the West Midlands.
According to The Sunday Mirror, Blackburn manager Paul Ince is poised to offer Simpson, who is also wanted by Manchester City boss Mark Hughes, a one-year loan deal.
However, Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill, who is anxiously looking to bolster his defensive options, could out-flank his rivals and have Simpson at Villa Park for the new season.
The 21-year-old full-back has been assured by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson that he will be sent on loan to another Premier League club, having spent part of last season in the Championship with Ipswich Town.
