His performances have garnered the interest of United, who are keen on a summer transfer. The midfielder spoke of his pride at being linked with the Red Devils but insisted that he was keeping his feet on the ground.

Grealish explains that he is used to attention since breaking out as a 19-year-old.

“I can’t help but think of playing for England because that is what I want to do.”

The Villa skipper isn’t letting the accolades get to him and is convinced that he can improve even further and score more goals and assists.
