Aston Villa signed midfielders Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott on loan from Manchester United and Liverpool respectively on Monday as the Midlands club bolstered their squad after a disappointing start to the Premier League season, Reuters reported.

Sancho joined United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 but spent a spell back on loan at the Bundesliga club before being loaned out to Chelsea last season.

"Sancho has been playing at the highest level of the club game since he was a teenager, particularly impressing for Borussia Dortmund during his time in the Bundesliga," Villa said on their website, according to Reuters.
