# Man Utd ‘still interested’ in Grealish

No [Premier League player](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/8228/Stages/18685/PlayerStatistics/England-Premier-League-2020-2021) has created more chances than Jack Grealish (55), no Premier League player has been fouled more (73), and only Adama Traore (53) and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa (50) have made more successful dribbles (44) than the Aston Villa man, so it’s no surprise that he’s been linked with a move away from the Midlands.

Manchester United were among many clubs to show an interest in Grealish last summer and were linked with a £65m move before the deal fell through, but the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9103091/Manchester-United-want-100m-rated-Jack-Grealish-fell-September.html) say they’re not giving up on signing the 25-year-old and could return for him now the winter transfer window is open.

Grealish has scored [five goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/113069/Show/Jack-Grealish) and made seven assists in 15 Premier League appearances this season – only Bruno Fernandes (16 games, 11 goals, seven assists) and Marcus Rashford (16 games, seven goals, seven assists) have fared better [for](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/leistungsdaten/verein/985/reldata/GB1%262020/plus/1) United – so he’d be a good addition at Old Trafford.

Villa have no obligation to cash in, however, after tying Grealish down to a [five-year deal](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2020/september/Grealish-signs-new-five-year-contract/) in September, so it remains to be seen if United’s pursuit is successful. The *Daily Mail* say it may take a bid of £100m for Grealish to be sold, so if United baulked at paying over £65m for the 5ft 9in playmaker back in the summer, it would be a surprise to see them agree to pay more now.
