Richard Dunne heading for New York?

Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne will reportedly complete a move to MLS side New York Red Bulls next month.

The Republic of Ireland international has spent the majority of the season on the sidelines with a groin injury.

However, the Red Bulls are still keen to land the centre-back, who could move without the requirement of a transfer fee because his current contract will expire in the summer, according to The People.

The report has also claimed that the 33-year-old will collect £50,000 a week in the Big Apple, where Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill already play their football.

Dunne joined Villa from Manchester City in 2009.
