Manchester United could opt against making a bid to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa and look to sign Donny van de Beek from Ajax instead, according to The Evening Standard . The report claims Villa are prepared to play hardball over the attacker having avoided relegation from the Premier League. The Aston Villa captain was the club’s standout performer this season, and played a key role in their battle against the drop. United have been linked with Grealish throughout the season, but could now turn their attention elsewhere. The Standard claims Villa are able to demand their full asking price because they don’t have the financial pressure to raise funds as they were able to avoid relegation.
