Man Utd's first attempt at Jack Grealish transfer emerges amid ongoing pursuit

Manchester United are hoping to sign Aston Villa star Jack Grealish when the transfer window reopens this summer.

Manchester United first attempted to sign Jack Grealish as a teenager, according to reports. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to add the England international to his squad when the transfer window reopens at the end of the campaign. He could replace Paul Pogba, who remains linked with a move away from Old Trafford best soccer tips.

Manchester United have earmarked Grealish as a transfer target ahead of the summer window, with Solskjaer prioritising him over Leicester’s James Maddison.

And the Daily Mirror say the Red Devils first attempted to sign the 24-year-old when he was a teenager.

Now, all these years on, United are hoping to land their man.

It’s previously been reported that any deal for the Villa star is dependant on what happens with Pogba, with the France international’s future up in the air.

Real Madrid want to snap him up, with Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane driving his side’s pursuit of his compatriot.

And Juventus are keen to bring Pogba back to Italy, four years after he sensationally returned to Old Trafford.

United could raise funds for Grealish by letting Pogba depart - despite Solskjaer regularly hailing the Frenchman for his attitude.

They’re undeterred by the Villa star’s recent controversy where he breached lockdown rules in order to attend a party.

He’s expected to cost in the region of £60million.

But that price could drop if Villa succumb to relegation soccer today.

Grealish has been in impressive form this season scoring seven Premier League goals and managing six assists in total.
