Former Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry says Manchester City are the right club for Jack Grealish.

Barry has urged Jack Grealish to sign for City over Manchester United if given the choice.

He told talkSPORT: "I'd say: 'for now, keep enjoying your football'. He's captaining his boyhood club and that's given him the freedom and the confidence that's been key to the way he's playing.

"He knows where he is until the end of the season, he should try and get Aston Villa into a European spot. He'll want to be playing European football and if he can be doing that for Aston Villa next season then that would be fantastic for him and the club.

"But the stories aren't going to go away, he's playing too well. It's not just going to be one team that wants his signature; it's going to be four or five across Europe.

"I would love to see him work under someone like Guardiola. That manager could help him learn more about the game, improve more. I'd go for Manchester City if you make me choose one."
