Several summer departures will likely take place, with Emiliano Martinez reportedly keen on a move to Manchester United, while Jacob Ramsey is attracting interest from Nottingham Forest. But, with their PSR concerns now a thing of the past, plenty of new signings could also arrive through the door soon.

GiveMeSport says Watkins is aware of United's interest and would be open to moving to Old Trafford, despite their fallen status. It would represent a major step down from Unai Emery's Villa, but Watkins is willing to make the switch.
