Manchester United still keen on signing Premier League playmaker

Manchester United are still interested in landing the signature of Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish, a report from The Mail claims.

The England international helped the Villans stay in the Premier League last term after scoring an important goal in the 1-1 draw against West Ham United in the final matchday.

Thereafter, the 25-year-old was linked with several high-profile clubs, but he ultimately put pen-to-paper on a fresh five-year deal with Dean Smith's side.

Grealish has been in fine form this term with six goals and eight assists from 15 appearances and it is now claimed that United are still looking at him.

The Red Devils were put off from making an offer after learning of the £100m price tag last summer, and the valuation is likely to remain unchanged this year.

Aside from them, Manchester City and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Grealish, who has managed more than 200 appearances in his career.

He has recently indicated that he is content at the west Midlands side, but his stance could change, should an elite European club come forward for his services.
