Manchester United fans send transfer message after Jack Grealish Aston Villa goal

Manchester United fans have reacted to Jack Grealish's stunning goal for Aston Villa at Old Trafford.

Grealish has enjoyed a fantastic first-half for the visitors as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side struggle against Dean Smith's men.

Andreas Pereira was one of the players at fault in the build-up to Grealish's strike as he let the attacking midfielder inside on his right foot, before the latter curled a lovely right-footed shot into the top corner and beyond a helpless David de Gea.

But this wasn't the only moment of strong play for Grealish and his Villa midfield as they dominate United in the middle of the park despite a 1-1 scoreline at the break.

Grealish has starred for Villa this season since the club were promoted back into the Premier League and with the Reds known to be looking at midfield options ahead of the January transfer window, fans have sent a message to the club's board following the 24-year-old's wonder goal.

Villa had a goal disallowed for offside before Marcus Rashford provided the equaliser for United prior to the break as the hosts earned a reprieve, with Pereira producing the cross.
