Manchester United have tried to sign Aston Villa star Jack Grealish during the January transfer window but the midfielder’s club have refused all advances from the Red Devils. Grealish is rated at around £60m and United could turn their attentions to trying to sign him in the summer.

And according to the Daily Record, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have tried to coax the midfielder away from Villa Park.
Villa, however, have refused any approach from United, who look set to sign Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes instead.
Grealish recently hinted that he would be interested in signing for United after liking a tweet with a picture that showed him scoring at Old Trafford for Villa earlier this season.

Meanwhile, former United man Ben Thornley has tipped United to sign Grealish in the summer.
He told Love Sport Radio: “At times this season, the times Man United have been found lacking is not against the top clubs that come at them - they have the pace to exploit on the counter and their record speaks for itself.
“But it’s the teams that come to Old Trafford and sit in which is where we’ve had a problem.
“I think from what I’ve seen on Jack Grealish not only is he somebody with a really good amount of skill, he also fits the bill for his work ethic.

“There’s no secret that when the season finishes, whether Villa survive or not, I think Grealish will be moving on.
“I think that if a player of Jack Grealish’s calibre became available at the end of the season, then I would definitely be putting a bid in for him."
