Man Utd 'considering Jack Grealish transfer' with Man City star set for exit

Manchester United are reportedly considering a surprise move for Jack Grealish, who faces an uncertain future at Manchester City.

The former Aston Villa striker has struggled for game time in recent months and has scored just one goal for City in his last 21 appearances.

Grealish's poor form has recently been criticized by Pep Guardiola, who urged the 29-year-old to work harder on the training pitch to win his place back.

“He has to compete with himself,” Guardiola said. “Savinho is in better shape and everything than Jack and that's why I played against Savinho. I know he can do it because I've seen him and I want him in every training session and every match.”

This has led to speculation that Grealish could be shipped out before the start of next season, with United among the clubs keen on his signature, according to The Sun.

They have reportedly joined three other Premier League sides to keep tabs on the winger. Ruben Amorim is said to be desperate for reinforcements after winning just five of his 15 games in charge of the Red Devils.

If the move goes through, it would make Grealish the first player to directly cross the Manchester divide since 2009, when Carlos Tevez swapped United for City.

The report adds that Tottenham and Newcastle are also monitoring the situation, while Aston Villa are said to be interested in bringing their former player back to the West Midlands.

Grealish was a hero at Villa Park before joining City in a deal worth more than £100million four years ago. Some of their fans turned against him following his decision to leave the club and he received a hostile reception from Villa supporters last month.

Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan have also been credited with interest in signing Grealish, who remains linked with City until 2027. Any transfer is said to be more likely to happen this summer than during the transfer window. January transfer.

Grealish scored his first goal in 392 days when he found the net against Salford City in the FA Cup earlier this month. He was dropped to the City bench for their big win over Ipswich Town last weekend, but came on as a substitute for the final 27 minutes.

He scored 15 goals and made 22 assists during his time at the Etihad Stadium, while he also won 39 caps for England with four goals at international level.
