Man Utd-linked Grealish needs to leave ‘school captain’ role at Aston Villa – Merson

Jack Grealish needs to leave his role as “school captain” at Aston Villa in order to become an England regular, says Paul Merson, with a player who has been heavily linked with Manchester United urged to push for a move elsewhere.

Interest from Old Trafford in the 24-year-old playmaker may have ended on the back of the Red Devils’ capture of Netherlands international Donny van de Beek.

Various other landing spots have, however, been mooted for Grealish as his obvious ability starts to catch the eye of those in a wider transfer market.
