Jack Grealish next club odds: Man Utd favourites but Man City challenge expected after Pep Guardiola transfer request
MANCHESTER UNITED remain in pole-position to sign Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.
That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who rate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Co. as the 6/1 market leaders to sign the England midfielder before February 2.

However, rivals Manchester City are next in the betting at a sizeable 12/1.
And those odds could soon tumble after claims Pep Guardiola has made Grealish a priority signing.
The Spanish tactician is thought to have discussed his top targets with Manchester City chiefs before signing a contract extension.
His wishlist included Tottenham talisman Harry Kane, Barcelona legend Lionel Messi and the Villa icon himself.
The Independent also claim Guardiola chatted with midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne about Grealish’s quality.
The Villains wanted £70m for their prized asset over the summer.
But that was before tying him to a new five-year deal in September.
They now value Grealish around the £100m-mark and that’s perhaps why he’s 1/2 to stay where he is for at least the remainder of the campaign.

Meanwhile, former City defender Danny Mills has questioned whether it would be the right move for Grealish to join Pep in Manchester.
Mills told talkSPORT: “My concern for Jack going to Man City is where does he fit into that system and where does he play?
“If Grealish goes to City does he start week-in, week-out? And that’s a player in such great form that he is at the moment, do you leave your club for an outside chance that you’re going to go and win the Premier League with the position City are in at the moment?
“Are they going to win the Champions League? It doesn’t look like it but I understand it would be an opportunity he’d certainly have to look at.”
