Aston Villa are currently engaged in proactive negotiations to extend Ian Maatsen's contract, looking to stave off approaches from Manchester United.
During the summer transfer window, the Red Devils were on the hunt for a new left-back but failed to secure any signings. One of the targets was Lewis Hall from Newcastle, but United's approach came too late to make a meaningful impact.
Insider Fabrizio Romano previously reported that the club had also considered Maatsen as an option. Now, Football Insider is claiming that the Dutch defender is on the brink of agreeing to a new deal with his current club.
Maatsen's existing contract at Villa Park is valid until 2030, and the Birmingham club feel no pressure to relinquish one of their key players to Old Trafford.
