Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Aston Villa youngster Jack Grealish still has a lot to prove before he can be termed a ‘good’ player.
The 19-year-old Villa winger earned widespread plaudits for his performance in the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool earlier this month and many feel he is destined for bigger things in the future.
There is also a tug-of-war between the English FA and their Irish counterparts over Grealish and both are trying to convince him to play international football for their respective countries.
However, Scholes is finding hard to believe the hype surrounding the youngster as he pointed out that Grealish has hardly has been a regular for Villa this season and has only played 13 times in the Premier League in the current campaign.
The Manchester United legend is also annoyed that the youngster has taken a year off from international football and though he admits that the Villa starlet has potential, Scholes feels that he still has a lot to prove at the top level.
