Since joining Aston Villa from Hibernian for a paltry fee of £2.75 million, John McGinn has not only emerged as a key player for the club but he is gradually securing his place among the ‘cult-hero’ figures at the club.
He is a loveable character and his attitude towards the game makes him a fan favourite. The energetic Scotland midfielder was so impressive last season in the Championship that Sir Alex Ferguson even recommended Manchester United to sign the 24-year-old.
There have been reports of interest from the Red Devils this summer for McGinn, but it seems, he has set his heart at Villa, and at Villa only.
