id=\"article-body\">\n<!-- Article Start --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aston Villa are reportedly considering a loan move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher, who is rumored to be a target for Manchester United.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The former Chelsea player is open to a return to the Premier League as he has struggled to get enough minutes for Diego Simeone&#8217;s side this season.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from talkSPORT, Villa are considering taking Gallagher on an initial loan deal, with the possibility of making him a permanent move later on.<\/p>\n<p>According to TEAMtalk, Man United are also interested in signing Gallagher on loan, with Fabrizio Romano also mentioning that the Red Devils are keeping an eye on Gallagher.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conor_Gallagher_likely_to_return_to_Premier_League\"><\/span>Conor Gallagher likely to return to Premier League<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The latest news from talkSPORT is that Gallagher is not necessarily in a hurry to leave Spain, but could welcome the possibility of returning to England to boost their World Cup hopes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Conor Gallagher reacts after Atl\u00e9tico Madrid&#8217;s loss to Real Madrid (Photo by Yasser Bakhsh\/Getty

minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Villa could be a great move for him as Unai Emery&#8217;s side are currently in good form and could even qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>If Gallagher joins and becomes a mainstay at Villa Park, it would certainly sway Tuchel and give him the chance to increase his England caps to 22.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Could_Manchester_United_make_a_move_for_Gallagher\"><\/span>Could Manchester United make a move for Gallagher?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if United end up giving Villa competition to sign Gallagher this month.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils could improve their midfield, with Gallagher likely to be an upgrade over the aging Casemiro and the unconvincing Manuel Ugarte.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the 25-year-old may be better off avoiding MUFC for the time being as they are in a bit of turmoil at the moment, with the club considering another managerial change.<\/p>\n<p>Even if United have the bigger, more appealing name, Villa seem far more consistent and the environment in which Gallagher could thrive.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End
