# Manchester United: Fans rage as Red Devils will wait until late to move for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish

**Manchester United will wait until late in the transfer window before considering a move for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish as they try to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund this summer, [reports](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html) say.**

That’s according to [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html), as per [@utdreport](https://twitter.com/ManUnitedZone_/status/1290423215257538562), who claim the Aston Villa captain is not currently a transfer priority at Old Trafford.

Grealish has [three years](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html) left on his contract at Villa Park and the Claret and Blue will only entertain serious offers starting at least at [£80m](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html).

[Ole Gunnar Solskjaer](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html) is keen to strengthen his wide options but has [cooled his interest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/man-united-fans-grealish-aston-villa-transfer-latest/) in the former England U21 international.

The Englishman famously scored the goal in the 1-1 draw with West Ham that saved Dean Smith’s side from relegation on the final day of the 2019/20 [Premier League](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html) season.

[\[freshpress-poll id=”312560″\]](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/[freshpress-poll%20id=%22312560%22])

[Grealish](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/manchester-united-transfer-blow-jack-grealish-aston-villa-price/) scored eight goals and supplied six assists in the English top flight last season, but despite his best efforts, he finished with a lower [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/113069/Show/Jack-Grealish) rating than [Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/leistungsdaten/verein/985).

[Ed Woodward](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/24/manchester-united-summer-spending-limited-warns-ed-woodward#:~:text=Manchester%20United's%20summer%20spending%20may%20be%20limited%2C%20warns%20Ed%20Woodward,-This%20article%20is&text=Ed%20Woodward%20has%20warned%20it,the%20financial%20impact%20of%20coronavirus.) has warned supporters should not expect the board to splash the cash as a result of the unprecedented circumstances. Regardless, they are willing to wait and see what will pan out in order to make a move for the 24-year-old at a later date.

However, the Lions are in no rush to sell their star player, as they are backed by billionaire owners [Nassef Sawiris](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/man-united-fans-grealish-aston-villa-transfer-latest/) and [Wes Edens](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/man-united-fans-grealish-aston-villa-transfer-latest/), who are prepared to spend heavily again in the summer to make them more competitive [next season](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8589409/Man-United-prepared-wait-late-make-Jack-Grealish-focus-Jadon-Sancho.html). The Red Devils may become embroiled in a bidding war if they wait too long, amid interest from [Arsenal](https://talksport.com/football/741098/jack-grealish-champions-league-man-utd-arsenal-aston-villa/).

Unsurprisingly, lots of United fans slammed the “terrible” news on social media, with one fan branding Woodward a “clown,” and another adding he is “incompetent,” as a transfer battle would surely push the price up even further.

Scroll through some of the scathing reactions so far…

> Honestly where is the logic?

> Villa won’t sell last minute or they’re definitely relegated.

> United won’t benefit as he would be joining late and might only knock 5-10 mil off him.

> I don’t want him but the logic here is typical incompetent Woodward

> Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want him, but this is stupid. Ed’s such a clown, running down the clock will benefit Villa, not us. Terrible idea, I feel bad for Ole if he actually wants him lul

> For the money Villa want for Grealish United should just walk away , we could easily buy two very quality midfielders for that sort of money , Grealish is good but not worth that sort of money £40-£50 max
