Roy Keane has said on Sky Sports Premier League (5:18pm, May 2, 2021) that Manchester United should sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.

The former United star, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, rates the Villa star highly, and believes that the 25-year-old has to be selfish and leave the Villans for a bigger challenge.

Keane said on Sky Sports Premier League (5:18pm, May 2, 2021): “I think United are still short of that special player. I think Grealish would give them that. I think Grealish would enjoy playing at Old Trafford. I think the fans would love him.”

The Sky Sports pundit added: “Jack has got to be selfish and look to go and step up to the next level.”

Jack Grealish to leave Aston Villa?

Grealish is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League and is a key player in the Villa team.

The 25-year-old is injured at the moment, but when he has played, the England international, who can also operate as a winger, has been superb.

According to WhoScored, the 25-year-old has scored six goals and provided 10 assists in 22 Premier League games for the Villans this season.

United are a massive club, one of the biggest in the world, and they look set to play in the Champions League next season and could win the Europa League this campaign.

Grealish could be very tempted to move to United, but one must not forget that the England international is a Villa fan.
