Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest transfer rumour surrounding midfielder John McGinn.
This comes after Villa-focused Twitter account @Total_Villa shared a post on their page relaying news originally posted in a report by the Daily Star.
The report claims that Newcastle United boss and ex-Villa manager Steve Bruce is eyeing up a £30 million transfer deal for McGinn this summer if Villa are relegated.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans, who were eager to have their say on this latest rumour.

Should Villa sell John McGinn if they get relegated this year?
Yes
No
McGinn was signed to Villa back in 2018 from Scottish side Hibernian when Bruce was in charge at Villa Park. Since then, McGinn has made 65 appearances for the club in which he has scored 11 goals and provided 12 assists (per Transfermarkt). Now that this rumour has emerged that Bruce is reportedly interested in a reunion with McGinn, this has sparked a big reaction from Villa fans on Twitter.
