Axel Tuanzebe
Local footballer Axel Tuanzebe has signed a loan to Aston Villa until to the end of the season.
Tuanzebe, 20, who was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was raised in Rochdale and attended St Cuthbert's RC High School. He was signed by Manchester United when he was just 11-years-old.
He made his FA Cup debut during Manchester United’s victory against Wigan at Old Trafford, replacing Tim Fosu-Mensah with 23 minutes left of the match.

Tuanzebe made his first appearance at any level for England when coming on at half-time for Everton's Ryan Ledson during a 2-0 warm-up defeat to Mexico. The then-18-year-old was handed a start by coach Aidy Boothroyd for the second fixture against the Mexicans on Monday and played the full 90 minutes.
