Manchester United transfer target Jack Grealish would "certainly improve" both Arsenal and Tottenham if either hijacked the Red Devils' bid to sign the Aston Villa captain. That's the opinion of former Chelsea player Craig Burley, who thinks United don't necessarily need to buy him due to the situation with their midfield options.

Villa are currently staring down the barrel of relegation, and have three games remaining to overturn a four-point deficit.

But given United's recent form, doubts have been raised over whether they need to go out and spend big in the summer.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in 18 games, and have benefitted from the form of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in the middle of midfield.
And Burley explained on ESPN FC that United might not end up needing Grealish, but that he would improve both Arsenal and Tottenham if either opted to hijack the deal.
