I see what you mean, but Jack is 25 now, turning 26 in September. He's gotten most of that out of his system. There was a time when he was Foden and Greenwood's age when it looked like his career would fizzle out, and he couldn't sort himself out off the pitch. I think John Terry becoming his captain really helped get him back on track as a professional, and incidentally that was also the season he took his game to the next level.

I need him in my life almost as much as my wife

I wish we had SAF still, he would move mountains to get this lad to Old Trafford
Obvious to anyone with eyes that’s he’s absolute class.
Southgate clearly lacks eyes.

We need him. Shaw and him would be monstrous.
The composure to make the correct pass at the correct time that I've mentioned earlier in this thread was on display again. Time and time again Sterling was fluffing those passes. He comes on, he releases Shaw at the perfect moment, and then plays the perfect ball for Kane right at the moment he was free and still onside. It's priceless.
Could've gotten him for 40-60m depending on the year, but that ship has sailed. Time to get behind the Donny now
What I would give to have him here.
I'd genuinely chuck an extra £50m on to the Sancho fee to get him. Sancho is good but Grealish is just on another level, I have up there with the likes of De Bruyne. He just doesn't get to showcase it on the big stage playing for a lower team.
If we get Sancho and Grealish ends up going to City I'll genuinely be really disappointed. People will say Sancho plays RW, but he's still a right footer. I'd much rather Grealish on the left and everyone else fight it out for the right.

Talisman for Villa, talisman for England, someday talisman for United, hopefully.
He could have been selfish for the first goal but played the right pass to Shaw. Then a perfect left footed cross to Kane.
At the least hopefully Villa keep on to him. The thought of him with Kane or Halaand at City makes me sick
Him Shaw and Pogba combining on the left could've been beautiful
Please god, don't let him ever sign for City!
Nah, don't want a player of his quality wasting his career at Aston Villa.
I do, mate. And that's not meant as an insult to Sancho. I just think Jack is incredible.
He’s a class act and he seemingly links well with Shaw too.
Shame he’s unobtainable.

I always have worried that if Sancho struggles as a RW then he is a bit similar to Rashford as a LW in comparison to how different Grealish is to Rashford when playing as a LW or LAM.
It’s why I always wanted him over Sancho - I hope it’s still plausible even if we look a bit overset up on the left.
Damn, would be nice!
Clearly should be starting, must be a joy of a player to have in your team.
Nothing against the Sancho signing,but yes, Grealish would be a much better signing. We can't pass up the opportunity to sign a player like him.
What’s sad is historically he’d be a typical united player. Got united all over him. Now city are getting them and building that history. Will be there own beckham.
last year we had a chance to sign him for 60M but we blew it by chasing Sancho and bringing in VanBeek.
Not it looks like a big mistake ....adding salt to the wound he is now linked to City

Thought they wanted way more, like 70-80?
He’s so chill it’s hilarious. Lives at his on pace
City should concentrate on getting Kane. Grealish is a flash in the pan. I wouldn't lie to you, Sheikh Mansour.
English Messi
It’s like interviewing Kevin from Kevin & Perry.
I was thinking that. He’d suit us so much it’s criminal.
perfectSoon as he came on …..game changer
Tactics and stuff, boys
Reminds me of that Viz article, where they went on about Ant, out of Ant and Dec
Aye, such a daft chilled English character.
Sancho 5 years younger and has been far more productive. All he did when he come on was go down the left and put in a cross for the goal. De Bruyne plays nothing like him and can strike the ball both footed, cross from deep and has the best weight of pass for through balls
Shaw and Grealish's link-up is what we need. I hope Ole watched this game 
Ole wanted Grealish last summer. Club let him down badly. The money we spent on Donny and Amad would have paid most of the Grealish fee. Madness.
Sancho is doing it in a tinpot league. We've just witnessed first hand that German football isn't exactly booming. They were dreadful.
Grealish is ahead of Sancho in the England set up for a reason.
You have absolutely no idea if this was true.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, it's hard to tell through text, but he created 2 chances in his limited time, one of which was an assist. Also put it on a plate for Shaw for the first goal.
Grealish's main strength is his weight of pass for through balls, it's up there with the best in football and dare I say De Bruyne himself. And speaking of striking the ball both footed, his assist was with his left foot. They're very similar in intent, if not playstyle 100%. Jack has said he watches a lot of De Bruyne and tries to model some of his game after him.
