According to The Guardian, Manchester City, Manchester United andLiverpool have been put on alert by the decision of Chukwuemeka not to sign a new contract with Villa.
The 18-year-old made his first start for Villa in August's 1-1 draw against Brentford, having made substitute appearances in the league against Spurs and Chelsea as a 17-year-old.
According to reports, Chukwuemeka doesn't see a path to the Villa first team. He has also been linked with interest from other clubs.
Michael Carrick believes that the Manchester United squad will adapt to the high-pressing style of German coach Ralf Rangnick.
Sources have told Rob that United are going to appoint a new boss before the end of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United were accused of not doing well before the Norwegian was sacked, because of their reputation for fierce pressing.
The squad will be able to adapt to any coach who comes in, despite the fact that the interim manager will be Rangnick, according to the man who will be in charge for Sunday's game.
When asked if he had been kept in the loop about the appointment of Rangnick, Carrick said that speculation and reports is what it is.
I'm preparing the team for the game as I sit here. I haven't given you any more information on that front.
"There's a lot of different styles in football, so I'm not sure if he can implement his pressing style with United's crop of players."
Whoever comes in, the group of players can adapt. I'm sure the people in the squad will look forward to what's ahead.
Sources told James Olley that the situation with Mason Mount is not serious despite reports in Spain that Real Madrid were interested in him.
Sources claim that Mount enjoys a good relationship with head coach Thomas Tuchel and is focused on further success with the Blues.

It is anticipated that conversations will begin later in the season as the first priority is talks with several players whose deals are up next summer, chiefly Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva.

Calciomercato has reported that Internazionale are interested in the trio of Davide Frattesi, Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca.

Nani has announced that he will be leaving the club. The club didn't take up the option to extend the stay of the Portuguese player, who has spent three years in the area.
