Former defender Jonathan Greening urges Manchester United to sign Jack Grealish over James Maddison
Former Manchester United defender Jonathan Greening has urged the Red Devils to sign Jack Grealish over James Maddison – because the latter is too similar to Bruno Fernandes.
Of the two, Greening told the Metro: “I actually feel I would prefer Jack Grealish. “Maddison is a very good player, super technical, he can create, great passing both short and long, and great on set plays.

“Jack Grealish, however, has that little bit of difference, he can take players on, he can drive forwards with the ball, and slide that pass through. ‘He’s got that bit of grit and determination; and doesn’t like losing, you can see that in his game.
“Maddison is also maybe a bit too similar to Fernandes, whereas Jack Grealish will bring in something different, he can find pockets of space, he can drive at opponents and take on 2-3 players in one movement.
“He’d be a better player at United with the current squad than Maddison would be for me.”
Manchester United are planning to sign a more attacking midfielder who would provide the balance when paired with Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
