Former Aston Villa star Darius Vassell can see Jack Grealish leaving this summer.

The Villa captain is being linked with Manchester United.

“Villa fans aren't going to like me saying it, but he's almost outgrown, too good," Vassell told Sky Sports. “It's always Jack that's expected to come up with the goods in football matches and I think that to truly test himself and how good he can be, he needs to be playing football in Europe.

“Villa obviously are aspiring to get there, but they might be a few seasons away from that. So for Jack, if he wants to get there soon, he might have to think about leaving.

“But at the same time, as a Villa fan, you want to see him with the claret colours on, scoring goals and providing the goals for his teammates.

“That's where we want him, but from his point of view, if he wants to play European football, then he's got to think about his future now, and I'm pretty sure he will be."
