‘That is why, when people say Grealish to Manchester United, he could do so much better than that.

‘Jack’s future, like that of the rest of the players, is down to what happens over the next three months . If we win or lose this final, it won’t define the season. ‘
Grealish is likely to leave if Villa drop, delivering the club at least £ million without any of the usual sell-on clauses or outstanding payments to a previous club, because he is homegrown.
