Manchester United is rumoured to be interested in Ollie Watkins transfer this summer. Honestly he is one of the reasonable players to be targeted for the attacking line. However he won't be a cheap transfer at the same time. He is having his most productive season at Aston Villa now (19 goals, 13 assists in the Premier League). His current market value is 65 million euros.
Aston Villa can make a huge profit from a possible transfer. They signed him for 34 million euros 4 years ago. They know how keen Manchester United are about spending a lot of money for their targets.
I don't expect Aston Villa to price him less than his current value.
I can understand if Man United is interested to sign Ollie Watkins. Yes, this player experiences a great season, he is competing for the top scorer and becomes the player who made most assists in EPL this season. Although he is not a young player anymore, he is still in the prime age. So Man United management expects to get instant impact by signing Ollie Watkins. His transfer fees is also quite affordable, 65 million euros isn't too much money for Man United. If Man United sells some players, it is enough to pay Watkins's transfer fees.Aston Villa can make a huge profit from a possible transfer. They signed him for 34 million euros 4 years ago.

Although Aston Villa gets huge profits, they will be difficult to get the replacement. Watkins is their mainstay striker, it will bring big impact if Aston Villa will lose him. However, Aston Villa will have no chance to keep him if Watkins is interested to join Man United. So, it depends on Man United now, they must know how to convince Watkins to join Man United squad.

First of all, it's actually a very good move that is going to improve the attacking lineup of this Manchester united side no doubt, because if you look at the current attacking players at Manchester united, you will be shocked at how bad they have all been throughout this season, when you are talking of their numbers.
But on a career move aspect, I don't think it's a good move for Watkins, because Manchester united is a team that is in a disarray right now, and it's actually going to take them like four to five years from now for them to return back to their glory days, so if Watkins makes this transfer to Manchester united, of a truth he is actually going to earn better, but it's going to be a wrong move for him, because Manchester united have that tendency right now of not being able to feed their attackers in the feed of play, so I suggest he should stay put at Aston villa till a better offer from a reputable club that is playing champions league football comes in, besides Aston villa is playing champions league football next season, so why in a hurry to go to a club that is in disarray.
