“So, I think he will be a great addition to the squad.”
Grealish has shone bright at Villa Park this season with nine goals and eight assists in 30 matches for Dean Smith’s side.
The 24-year-old is among Solskjaer’s top targets as he is looking to build the team with young English talent just like his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson did.
That is why United have also been keeping tabs on the likes of James Maddison and Jadon Sancho, who have put together some scintillating performances at Leicester and Borussia Dortmund respectively.
