# Aston Villa: Jack Grealish remains a ‘top tier’ transfer target for Manchester United

**Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish remains part of Manchester United’s ‘top-tier’ summer transfer plans with [The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united-news-transfer-jadon-sancho-grealish-rodon-a9542296.html) reporting three main targets.**

The former England under-21 international has been in superb form this season for Dean Smith’s side, contributing in the Premier League with [seven goals and six assists.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-grealish/profil/spieler/203460) Villa, who will return to league action on [June 17](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/52833725), see their top-flight status hanging in the balance as things stand, sitting [19th in the Premier League table](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table).

United, who have had a largely mixed season in terms of results, are looking to bring in some fresh faces this summer and Grealish remains very much on their transfer list. Joining the 24-year-old midfielder is Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder [Jadon Sancho](https://talksport.com/football/711998/man-utd-transfer-havertz-pogba-real-madrid-jadon-sancho/), who has been impressing in the Bundesliga, and Napoli defender [Kalidou Kouliably](https://talksport.com/football/655688/kalidou-koulibaly-transfer-man-utd-done/).

Losing Grealish would undoubtedly be a kick in the teeth for Villa, given his importance to the team as their [top scorer and assists provider](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/leistungsdaten/verein/405/reldata/%262019/plus/1) and his status as club captain.

Should Villa remain in the Premier League past this season, boss Smith would undoubtedly love to keep hold of his playmaker, [but a potential influx of £80m](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8327739/Aston-Villa-demand-80m-sell-star-captain-Jack-Grealish-relegated.html) by the club from his prospective sale could hand the manager a nice sum of money to find a potential replacement if Grealish goes.
