He told gaming website
"I think Garnacho is on his way out and if Villa want him then I think we have to take Watkins off them.'
Watkins, 29, bagged 17 goals for Villa last season and was also key to England's run to the Euros final.
Littler also wants United to bulk up their midfield as well and is eyeing ex-Villa star Douglas Luiz, who joined Juventus last season but is reportedly keen on a Premier League return.
