Aston Villa have been encouraged to make a move for former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea.

Stan Collymore has indicated that the Spanish goalkeeper could be a star that may be able to take his former team to the next level in his column with Caught Offside.

Collymore encourages Villa to make David De Gea move

De Gea was released by Manchester United after his contract expired at the end of the 2022-23 season. The Spanish star was subsequently replaced by Andre Onana, and a number of offers have been made to the 32-year-old from clubs both in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

However, Collymore believes that the former United star could take Villa to the next level and present competition for World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez.

There have been questions surrounding the Argentinean’s future at Villa Park, with Inter Milan reportedly interested in the former Arsenal goalkeeper.
