# Villa fans provide mixed response to Grealish’s future

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish is [reportedly a priority target](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-prioritise-jack-grealish-21429804?_ga=2.10870900.1502556895.1580840851-226780108.1580840450) for fellow Premier League side Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window.

[Pundits speaking on talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1224959349392658432) also believe that the Englishman could be the ‘perfect’ player for the Red Devils, but his situation has torn many Villa fans.

Some believe that if the club gets relegated, then Grealish deserves a move away from Villa Park, while others feel that he should stay and lead the club’s rise back to the top flight.

Former Premier League manager[Sam Allardyce believes](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1225310656120815619) that the 24-year-old could even succeed with European giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Grealish is Villa’s key player at the moment, as seen by the fact that he has[nine goals and seven assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-grealish/leistungsdaten/spieler/203460) in all competitions so far this season.

The attacking midfielder has [played 173 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-grealish/leistungsdaten/spieler/203460) for the club and is their current captain, but fans can’t agree on whether he should stay at Villa or leave for a club that plays European football regularly.
