How Man Utd could line up with Jack Grealish next season as Aston Villa ace eyes £60m transfer to Old Trafford
MANCHESTER UNITED look set to spend big in the summer with transfer target Jack Grealish handing them a huge boost.
Ole Gunnar Solskajer’s side are poised to strengthen their squad in defence, midfield and attack.
The fallen giants could well finish in the top four this season, meaning they will have more funds to spend as well as being able to attract higher quality players.
And they look certain to have to replace World Cup winner Paul Pogba, with SunSport revealing the ex-Juventus star has been given the green light by the club to leave in the next transfer window.

And SunSport have exclusively revealed that the Red Devils are tracking Aston Villa ace Jack Grealish, with the Villains captain giving them encouragement as he favours a switch to Old Trafford above any other club.
It is believed that Dean Smith’s side could part ways with the talented playmaker should they receive an offer in the region of £60million.
As well as Grealish, United are also been linked with a move for Napoli’s defensive stalwart Kalidou Koulibaly.
Reports have stated that the Senegalese international could be the subject of a whopping £90million bid from United as they seek to pair him with Harry Maguire.
And Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez is also on the radar of United, though they are reluctant to meet his £94m release clause.
Should all their major targets be acquired, then Solskjaer would certainly have a side capable of mounting a serious tilt at the Premier League title next season.
David De Gea should keep his place between the sticks, while Dean Henderson – currently starring on loan at Sheffield United – will be hellbent on becoming the club’s No1 shot-stopper.

A back four would consist of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams occupying the full-back slots, with Maguire and Koulibaly the two centre-halves.
Scott McTominay would likely be the holding midfielder, with Grealish and January signing Bruno Fernandes playing further up the pitch.
United then would boast an attacking trio of Martinez, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, with the likes of Mason Greenwood and Daniel James to come on from the bench.
