As Manchester United continues their winning ways, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also looking at possibilities of improving the depth of the team’s roster. One possibility is signing Aston Villa’s captain Jack Grealish during the transfer window.

The past few weeks have been positive for Manchester United upon the resumption of the games. The Red Devils have seen a strong stretch in their past six matches that set them up for a potential Champions League berth.

Given how the team is shaping up well, Solskjaer would want to push the tempo and take advantage of the situation. Per Red Devil Armada, One talent they’re looking to sign is attacking midfielder Grealish. The 24-year-old has contributed well for Aston Villa and has garnered enough experience as the squad’s captain.

Several teams have gained interest in the playmaker such as Manchester City. It will be a race for the talented star given how much he can contribute on the field. The combination of precise passing, excellent mobility and overall ability to lead on the pitch serves as an asset for any club.

Throughout his 181 career appearances for Aston Villa, he’s managed to put up 24 goals and add 31 assists. In 30 matches with Premier League, he has contributed to seven goals and six assists with a passing rate of 85%. The vision he has on the field puts him as a reliable contributor.

With the current directive of Solskjaer to develop younger stars, Grealish can further hone his skills under the historic club. There’s no question that his talent is evident and an environment with young standouts such as Bruno Fernandes can take his game to the next level.

It will be interesting to see how aggressive teams will be for Grealish’s services. The young star is full of potential and can be a reliable presence for a club like Manchester United. The growth and development of a player are pivotal for Solskjaer’s system and it will be crucial for any star to make the most out of his experience with Manchester United.
