Transfer Report: Manchester United on edge of finalising Aston Villa star move to replace Chelsea target

Manchester United are supposedly edging closer to signing Aston Villa star Jack Grealish in a massive lift for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils manager reported yesterday that it looked like Angel Gomes was leaving Old Trafford after no news on him signing another deal, with his present contract lapsing today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s statements were conveyed by the Independent, who also asserted that Chelsea had offered a deal to Gomes, while other large clubs around Europe are also intrigued by the profoundly appraised talented youngster.

Presently Ivisionsport guarantee Manchester United are ‘nearly’ signing £80m-rated Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish as Angel Gomes’ replacement.

Manchester United fans will be satisfied with this news, as Jack Grealish is an instant and demonstrated performer in the Premier League who will without a doubt fortify an issue area in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.

Jack Grealish is ‘very nearly’ a move to Manchester United

The talented midfielder looks a major upgrade on players like Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata in the attacking midfield role, and he’ll most likely guarantee Angel Gomes isn’t missed.

Obviously, Manchester United fans will be baffled to see a homegrown player like Angel Gomes leave, particularly if he proceeds to satisfy his tremendous potential at a rival like Chelsea.

Chelsea have done well to utilize their young players this season so Angel Gomes could be a solid match in Frank Lampard’s side, and a fine bit of business on a free transfer.
