Jadon Sancho is Manchester United’s top priority but just beneath him is the purchase of Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish.

Manchester United finished 2019/20 Premier League season in a respectable third place. The Red Devils have improved remarkably under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the first team needs reinforcements to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City. 

Jadon Sancho is their priority target. Borussia Dortmund do not wish to part company with the attacker but the Red Devils are pushing nonetheless. 

They need a pure number 9 as well and Harry Kane has been rumored to be on their wishlist. But before a striker is to be added, the midfield needs reinforcement. 

Jack Grealish is seen as a perfect addition and is ranked highly at the Old Trafford. The Aston Villa captain’s future is uncertain as a move away from the club is speculated. 

United lead the race for his services but there are server reservations about his value. Aston Villa want north of 70 million Euros, a price the Red Devils are unwilling to meet. 

Daily Mail has reported that headway can be made in the deal with Sergio Romero going the other way. The Argentine shot-stopper is on his way out of the club with Dean Henderson returning from Sheffield United. 

Romero plus cash can sweeten the deal for Villa, who are looking to improve on Pepe Reina.
