Aston Villa playmaker Grealish prefers Man City over Man Utd

Jack Grealish would prefer to join Manchester City over Manchester United.

The Aston Villa captain enjoyed a fantastic campaign which has culminated in his selection for England's Euro2020 squad.

United were keen to sign Grealish last summer but opted to recruit Donny van de Beek instead.

Since then, City have emerged as genuine suitors for the 25-year-old.

And according to The Athletic, the idea of joining City is more appealing to Grealish.

The Villa academy graduate is attracted to the Champions League finalists as he believes he will regularly compete for football's biggest prizes.

City boss Pep Guardiola has publicly declared his admiration for Grealish in the past.

Grealish bagged six goals and assisted 10 others in 26 Premier League games this term.
