Manchester United have suffered a huge blow in their bid to close the gap on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. According to reports, Pep Guardiola’s side are set to complete the £88m signing of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

That’s according to an exclusive from CaughtOffside, who say that the Aston Villa captain will join the blue side of Manchester when his involvement in this summer’s European Championships is over.

The winger has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the past, but according to CaughtOffside, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have never expressed an interest in Grealish, allowing Manchester City to seal the transfer uncontested.
