Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho also remains a prime target.

But Grealish is almost certain to leave his boyhood club whether they can pull off a miracle Premier League survival or not.

And Sherwood, who managed the Midlands side for eight months in 2015, thinks a deal has already been agreed in principle.

He told Premier League productions: “I think Jack Grealish is a deal which is already done.

“He’s a player that they [Manchester United] need.

“I honestly believe there’s only one club for Jack Grealish.

“I don’t think he can stay at Aston Villa, he needs to progress his career. I think he signs for Manchester United.”

Grealish is set to earn a huge wage hike on his move to United with chief executive Ed Woodward willing to fork out £150,000-a-week.

It was reported how United’s neighbours Man City could sensationally hijack a potential move after letting Leroy Sane leave for Bayern Munich.

City boss Pep Guardiola has already described the 24-year-old as “one of the best players in the league” and admitted he was a “big fan” of the playmaker.

The ex-Barcelona coach says he is not looking for a like-for-like Sane replacement – but The Telegraph claim Grealish is a player he views as someone who could “operate in central midfield and an attacker”.
