Robson ´wouldn´t mind seeing´ Grealish at Manchester United

Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson would like to see Jack Grealish make a move to Old Trafford.

Aston Villa star Grealish has been linked with the Red Devils in the past 18 months but there has yet to be a concerted effort to sign him.

However, with the future of Paul Pogba unclear beyond this season, talk has again emerged that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could look to Grealish as a possible replacement for the France star.

The England international has created a competition-high 55 goalscoring chances in the Premier League in 2020-21 from only 15 appearances.

The 25-year-old has become integral to Villa s improved performances this term, making 11 per cent of all of their passes and drawing 73 fouls, the most of any player in the division.

Former skipper Robson, twice a league champion with United, thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be making a smart move if he added Grealish to his squad.

It was a good decision giving [Jack Grealish] the [Aston Villa] captaincy, he told Stats Perform. I think it s made him a bit more mature.

He s a powerful player. He s quite a strong boy and he s quick and the way he can sort of go either way past people, he s always going to be a danger and that s why he gets so many free-kicks. Him and Villa have been terrific this season.

He s been linked with us but those decisions, thank goodness, are with Ole and the board of directors. I wouldn t mind seeing Jack Grealish in a Manchester United shirt. I don t know whether the staff at Old Trafford fancy him, much as you d like to see him play for your club.

United face Fulham on Wednesday looking for a win that would take them back to the top of the Premier League.

Grealish and Villa are in action away to in-form Manchester City.
