Fans of Aston Villa have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which Gregg Evans relayed recent comments made by Dean Smith regarding Morgan Sanson's progression at the club.
Since joining Villa from Olympique Marseille in what was a £14.22 million deal back in January, Sanson is yet to be awarded a start in the Premier League, with the midfielder's four appearances for the club all coming as a substitute.
However, speaking prior to the club's clash with Sheffield United on Wednesday evening, the 49-year-old Villa manager provided a rather positive update on the development of the £18 million-rated 26-year-old, suggesting that the Frenchman could be in line to start a fixture in the near future.
He said: "He's starting to show what he's about in games when he's been coming on. But he's an ambitious young man who wants to start games and I'm confident enough now that he can start games for us and I have no doubts putting him in."
And, after Evans relayed Smith's comments on Twitter, fans of Villa flocked to have their say on the matter, with many urging their manager to play Sanson from the off against the Blades.
So, what exactly did these Aston Villa fans have to say in reaction to Dean Smith's comments regarding Morgan Sanson?
"Then start him, Dean."

"That comment suggests it's Nakamba - McGinn - Sanson tomorrow then, I'm fine with that."

"It's fantastic that we have the opportunity to do that this season. Whereas last season we had to chuck all new signings straight in without a slow introduction. It really showed what a difference it made, after last seasons lockdown, how important it is to have a steady introduction."

"I think we are easing him into premier league life perfectly tbh. He will become more of a major player for us as time goes by. He looks decent."
@coleman83avfc
"I can see Sanson / Barkley starting as a 10 tomorrow in place of Ramsay. Maybe he will save Sanson for Wolves on Saturday though."
@avfcsarco
"Get in! SANSON STARTING CONFIRMED?!"
@trickytargett
"I like this talk."
