Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has impressed him.

Scholes was speaking on his Independent blog and said he believes Aston Villa youngster Grealish is a good player in the making.

He stated: "I really like Grealish as a player. He has got promise.

"I haven't seen enough of him to know whether he is a No 10 or better coming off the left-hand side.

"Only time will tell how many goals he has in him.

"Only time will tell if he is going to pull his socks up, too. Juan Sebastian Veron had that habit as well.

"But what I can see in Grealish is that he is a clever player.

"He has great control, he can dribble and he can pass. He might well have a free-kick in him too. Let's not go overboard yet. There are the makings of a decent player there."
