Aston Villa are reportedly interested in Manchester United goalkeeper Matej Kovar, who is presently training away from the first team.
The 23-year-old played 32 times in all competitions while on loan with Sparta Prague during the previous season.
And although Sparta Prague has expressed interest in bringing the goalie back to the team, an agreement has not yet been reached with Manchester United.

However, following the arrival of Andre Onana, it now seems more likely that Erik ten Hag will sanction a goalkeeping sale or two. While Sparta Prague hold an interest in the shot-stopper, they will have to fend off Aston Villa who are now interested.
According to Idnes, Aston Villa are ‘interested’ in the goalkeeper.

The report also clarifies that Kovar is continuing to ‘train individually’ after he was left out of Erik ten Hag’s pre-season squad.
The goalkeeper has a deal at Old Trafford through 2025, with an additional year’s option.
Although they may approve another loan arrangement for the upcoming season, Man United are looking for a price of about €10m to sell Kovar permanently.
Ten Hag’s squad is slowly taking shape ahead of the upcoming season, but there is still plenty of work to be done.
