Reports reaching National Daily claim that United are finally prepared to sign their long-term admired star after their initial attempt to sign him seven years ago.
It has been revealed that Red Devils tried to sign Jack Grealish before he penned his first big professional deal on his 17th birthday.

Grealish opted to stay loyal to his boyhood club and committed himself in January to help Villa’s battle against relegation.
However, Grealish could see his £60,000-a-week Villa terms tripled if he went to United, who are on course to play in Europe again next season National Daily further gathered.
Undoubtedly, a move to United would definitely suit Grealish’s international dreams with the possibility of uniting with the stable of England stars which include Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire, Dean Henderson and the fast rising Wan-Bissaka.

Recall that Aston Villa boss Dean Smith was very cautious when asked about potentially keeping the star ahead of the League Cup final, which they lost 2-1 to at Wembley stadium to Manchester City.

“Staying in this league is probably one of the biggest things that will help us to keep Jack Grealish,” he said.
“He wants to play at the highest level and win trophies.”
Going by the above Smith’s assertion vis-à-vis Villa’s current Premiership position, the chances of United landing their dream star becomes wider.
And this prospect has no doubt triggered wild celebrations at Old Trafford.
