Manchester United great Bryan Robson is backing a move for Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish.

The Villa captain has no shortage of admirers right now, and United were keen on his services in the summer, but ended up looking elsewhere.

Robson told Goal: "It was a good decision giving him [Grealish] the [ Villa] captaincy. I think it's made him a bit more mature.

"He's a powerful player. He's quite a strong boy and he's quick and the way he can sort of go either way past people he's always going to be a danger and that's why he gets so many free kicks.

"Him and Villa have been terrific this season. He's been linked with us but those decisions, thank goodness, are with Ole and the board of directors.

"I wouldn't mind seeing Jack Grealish in a Manchester United shirt. But I don't know whether the staff at Old Trafford fancy him, as much as you'd like to see him playing for your club."
