Manchester United willing to offer one of these five players to bring Jack Grealish price-tag down

As per a report from MEN, Manchester United are willing to use one of their players to drive down Aston Villa’s asking price for Jack Grealish.

The 24-year-old has emerged as Manchester United’s top transfer target heading into the summer transfer window, after an impressive season with the Villans. (h/t MEN)

However, Villa, who are staring at the possibility of relegation to the Championship, have slapped an £80million valuation on their captain, citing the transfer fee Manchester United shelled out on Harry Maguire last summer. (h/t Daily Star)

With Villa unwilling to budge on their stance, Manchester United are now hoping to offer one of their players in order to drive the price down for the 24-year-old. (h/t MEN)

The 20-time English champions have offered a pick of five players to Villa. The stars that have been offered are Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo. (h/t MEN)

None of the aforementioned players seems to have a long-term future at Old Trafford. Lingard and Pereira have failed to make an impact despite being given plenty of opportunities by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Whereas, Jones has hardly featured over the course of the season.

Smalling and Rojo are both currently out on loan at AS Roma and Estudiantes respectively. It remains to be seen if Villa do decide to choose any of these five players in order to slash their transfer fee demand for Grealish.
