Jack Grealish makes admission amidst Manchester United interest

According to the Guardian, Manchester United target Jack Grealish is not surprised by his success in the Premier League this season.

The Aston Villa skipper has enjoyed an excellent debut season in the English top-flight. He has scored 9 goals and 8 assists in 31 matches, while also leading the club to the League Cup finals. (h/t Transfermarkt)

“My season has been very good, though I probably didn’t start as I wanted to.”

The impressive set of performances have caught the attention of United, who are keen to bring him to Old Trafford.

According to MEN, the midfield remains a high-priority signing for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian is keen to add further creativity to his midfield ranks.

Grealish could be a cheaper option than James Maddison. With Champions League football on the cards at the King Power Stadium, the Leicester City midfielder is in talks to sign a new contract. On the other hand, Villa are in the midst of a relegation scrap and have a good chance of going down.

The 24-year-old is supremely confident in his ability. He revealed that he was under no illusions that he could not perform at the top level.

“Without sounding arrogant or big-headed I had no doubts I would come into this league and perform the way I have done.”

Such self-assurance regarding one’s ability will be a boost for United. Grealish still is yet to hit his peak and promises to be an excellent player for years to come.

It is imperative that the club ensures it comes in the Red half of Manchester.
