Manchester United are still keeping tabs on Jack Grealish after £65m move fell through in September... but Aston Villa want £100m for their captain amid fine form since signing new deal

Manchester United are still interested in signing Jack Grealish despite the collapse of his move from Aston Villa in September.

Grealish captains Villa at Old Trafford on Friday but could have been lining up for United if they had agreed to pay the £100m asking price.

United are among a number of top European clubs still weighing up a bid for Grealish in the summer, although the transfer fee is likely to have gone up.

It's understood that United refused to pay more than £65m and then pulled out of the deal due to the financial impact of the pandemic having already spent £40m on Donny van de Beek.
