Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has "got his eye" on a summer transfer to Manchester United, according to Darren Bent.
The 24-year-old looks likely to leave his boyhood club - who were in the relegation zone when the coronavirus pandemic halted the 2019-20 Premier League season - during the next transfer window and is poised to spark a bidding war.

But former Villa striker Bent believes Grealish would favour a move to Old Trafford first.
