AVFC/Aston Villa FC via Getty Images) After Manchester United suffered their worst league result in 50 years, a former club icon believes signing Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins could be


the start of getting the team back to winning ways. Paul Ince made the claim after United came 15th in the Premier League table and failed to add any silverware to their trophy cabinet this


season.


The 29-year-old forward was impressive for the Villans this campaign adding 17 goals and 14 assists in 54 appearances. Watkins is seen by Ince as a proven goalscorer who can consistently add


attacking value to a Red Devils squad that is sorely lacking in its ability to put balls into the back of the net.


‌ In an interview with The Telegraph, Ince claimed his former club's current players were 'mentally weak'.


‌Ollie Watkins has been a consistent goal scorer for Villa The former Manchester United midfielder told the newspaper: "If you picked your best 11 players from the Premier League, you


wouldn’t have one United player in there.


Article continues below “And you probably could have said that in the last six or seven years. How can Liverpool go and sign the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac


Allister, and Arsenal get Declan Rice? Why haven’t United been in the market for them? Are they looking in the right places? I don’t think they are right now, so it’s a big summer for


everyone involved at the club, that’s for sure."


He added: “They badly need more firepower. And I’m looking at someone like Ollie Watkins – a striker who can actually score goals – as a player United need to be going for.”
