Agbonlahor Urges Grealish To Aim Higher Than Man United
Former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor says Jack Grealish is too good for Manchester United and should opt for bigger clubs like Juventus or Barcelona.
Grealish has been tipped to leave Villa Park at the end of the season after an outstanding campaign for the Midlands club with Manchester United reportedly heading the queue for his signature.
The Aston Villa captain has scored seven goals and provided six assists in 25 appearances this season despite his side struggling to keep hold of their top flight status.
Grealish will lead Aston Villa out on Sunday against champions Manchester City at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.
Agbonlahor, who is Aston Villa’s all-time leading scorer in the Premier League with 73 goals, believes Grealish should aim higher than Manchester United.
“I am not just saying this as I have played with him, but I honestly think he is the best attacking midfield option that England have got at this current time,” Agbonlahor told The Sun.
“That is why, when people say Grealish to Manchester United, he could do so much better than that.
“He could walk into any team in the world, even Barcelona or Juventus.
“For where Manchester United are now, he could go to better teams around the world, so he doesn't need to limit himself to just United and focus on teams who are playing in the Champions League.
“The good thing about Jack is that he can run with and without the ball, play in different positions and score goals. He is the type of player that fans of football will go to a game to specifically watch him, even if they aren't fans of Villa.”
