Jack Grealish fuels Man Utd transfer speculation with Old Trafford admission

Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish has opened up on his dream to play at Old Trafford.

Grealish, 24, is believed to be on Manchester United's radar as they look to continue their transfer policy of signing young British talent.

The Villa star caught the attention of United chiefs earlier this month when he scored a stunning goal in a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.

He admits it was a lifelong dream to score at the famous stadium and has opened the door to a potential transfer to United.

"That was my favourite goal ever. Scoring at Old Trafford. I’ve always wanted to play at Old Trafford," Grealish told Sky Sports.

"I’ve played there before in a reserve cup final but it’s not the same when it’s like that. That’s obviously my favourite ground in the Premier League.

"If you actually watch the goal, I get so much curve on the ball I don’t actually know I got that much curve on it.

"It was one of them, as soon as I shot I knew it was going into the top corner and I couldn’t have hit it any better."

Villa lost four Premier League games on the spin after the draw at Old Trafford before returning to winning ways against Norwich on Boxing Day.

They now take on a revitalised Watford at Vicarage Road in a huge clash as they bid to climb away from the Premier League drop zone.

Dean Smith's men then face a trip to Burnley on New Year's Day.
