OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has remained coy on whether Manchester United could make a move for Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish.
The Norwegian was asked the question after watching Grealish curl home a stunning strike that had put Villa 1-0 up at Old Trafford.

The match went on to finish 2-2 – but the 23-year-old’s goal was the talk of the town.
And when asked if Grealish was the sort of player that the Red Devils could buy, Solskjaer said with a smile: “I can’t talk too much about other teams’ players if they are Man Utd calibre or targets.
“But fantastic goal. I think he’s hit one of those corners that I’ve hit a couple of times.
“It was a great finish but then again we should defend better and show down the left.
“But what a goal and he played a good game, definitely.”
Having scored three goals and assisted a further four, no English midfielder has directly contributed to more goals than the England hopeful this season.
And Grealish has been heavily linked with a move away from Aston Villa before.
In 2018 the home-grown hero thought he was going to sign for Tottenham Hotspur.
But Spurs chief Daniel Levy failed to match Villa’s valuation after a summer-long pursuit.
And the move failed to materialise.
Just a a month later, Grealish put pen to paper on a five-year contract.
His former manager Tim Sherwood recently claimed that he should not be sold for anything less than £70million.
But it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will test their resolve.
