Still hoping for Watkins. Easily the sensible choice here.
While this is true, I'm not sure of United's strategy here.

Villa, meanwhile, are insisting they will not let Watkins leave. There is, though, a belief at United that the right offer could tempt Villa to part with the 29-year-old, who was the subject of a bid from Arsenal in January.

United are unlikely to match the £60 million ($80m) offer submitted by Arsenal six months ago and instead value the England man at closer to £45m.

He's 29, Villa didn't entertain Arsenal's £60M bid, but for some reason are expected to be tempted by United's £45M bid?
