Manchester United Reportedly Eye Aston Villa's Jack Grealish as Long-Term Option

Manchester United are reportedly keeping an eye on Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and believe he could make a strong long-term option for the club.

According to The Sun's Neil Ashton, United are hoping to sign Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk this summer but also admire Grealish as a player who could become a fixture in their side for years to come.

In particular, they are said to enjoy Grealish's "driving runs through midfield from deep-lying positions."

The 22-year-old helped Villa reach the play-off final this season, but he could be set to move on after the club failed to secure promotion against Fulham on Saturday.
