Manchester United will wait until late in the transfer window before deciding whether to move for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, according to a report.


The Red Devils have prioritised getting a deal over the line for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho, with that transfer looking likely to go through by the end of the week.

Grealish is believed to be another of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's targets, but the Daily Mail claims that United are in no rush to begin talks with Villa.

United supposedly intend to wait until closer to the October 5 deadline before weighing up whether a move this summer makes sense.

The 24-year-old has long been of interest to United, but he has three years to run on his contract and Villa could demand a fee in excess of £80m.
