A number of senior Manchester United players have reportedly urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to target signing Aston Villa star Jack Grealish this summer over Jadon Sancho.
A new attacking midfielder is known to be one of the priorities for United's summer spending, and Dortmund's Sancho is believed to be top of their wishlist after they missed out on the player last summer.
Dortmund are thought to be far more willing to sell the star this time around in order to allow them to keep hold of Erling Haaland for at least one more season, and a bid of around £70m could tempt the Bundesliga side to sell Sancho.
But according to The Telegraph some key members of the United squad have been wowed by Grealish's performances for Villa this season, and would prefer to play alongside him.
Grealish managed six goals and ten assists for Villa in the Premier League before being ruled out for three months injured in February.
His fine showings have also seen him finally break into Gareth Southgate's England team, and he is expected to play a key role in this summer's European Championships.
Previously Grealish has stayed fiercely loyal to his home-town side Villa, but an appealing offer from United and the lure of Champions League football could well tempt him to leave.
And his agent Jonathan Barnett refused to give anything away when asked about his client's future earlier this month.
"The truth is we don’t know [what will happen]," he said.
"There are many clubs and I wouldn’t put Manchester United at the top of that [list]. "But he could stay. He could stay as well so it’s a conversation the club, Aston Villa, will have with Jack and ourselves then we’ll see where we go."
Sancho is also known to have admirers in the United team, and has a long-standing relationship with their forward Marcus Rashford.
Ultimately the decision will come down to Solskjaer, but the signing of either Sancho or Grealish would be a huge boost as United attempt to close the gap between themselves and bitter rivals Manchester City next season.
