Who is United-linked Santiago Castro?

Castro, an Under-20 Argentine international, is attracting interest in the lead-up to the summer window after impressing over in Italy this term.

In the 44 appearances that the 21-year-old has made across all competitions, he has returned 11 goals and four assists.

It goes without saying that he’ll be desperate to add to his tally in the Midlands this evening, as Villa lead 3-1 heading into the return fixture on their home soil.
