Grealish agent: 'No talks over Man Utd move'

Rumoured Manchester United target Jack Grealish will not think about his Aston Villa future until the end of the season, agent Jonathan Barnett reveals.

Jack Grealish's agent has insisted that the midfielder is focused on helping Aston Villa to avoid Premier League relegation and has not started talks with Manchester United.

The 24-year-old is thought to be United's top midfield target ahead of the summer transfer window after impressing for a struggling Villa side this season.

Grealish has seven goals and six assists in 28 top-flight appearances, while also playing a big part in the Villans' run to the EFL Cup final.

Amid repeated links with a move to Old Trafford, however, the Englishman's agent Jonathan Barnett has revealed that discussions over his future will wait until the end of the campaign.

"Jack is captain of Aston Villa - his first priority at the moment is to make sure that they survive in the Premiership," Barnett told The Ornstein & Chapman Podcast.

"Until that is sorted out, we don't have the discussion. He's got his priorities right, he has a job and that's what he's going to do, he's going to fight hard for Aston Villa."

Villa are one point from safety after drawing one and losing one of their two matches since returning to Premier League action last week.
