‘I believe they do’: Journalist delivers verdict on Man Utd interest in £100m target
The Atheltic journalist Laurie Whitwell has suggested that Manchester United still retain an interest in Jack Grealish. The Red Devils were heavily linked with a move for the England international during the summer, but they didn’t come up with a formal bid. Aston Villa were demanding a fee in the region of £70-80m for their star midfielder, while United had other targets (Jadon Sancho for instance) in mind. Grealish has been simply outstanding for Villa (five goals, five assists) this season, and there’s a feeling that United may have missed a trick by not signing him. The 25-year-old creative midfielder can take some of the creative burdens off Bruno Fernandes and could be an ideal replacement for Paul Pogba, if and when he leaves the club. Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, drop...

De Gea failed to intercept Angelino’s deflected cross for the third goal scored by Justin Kluivert, and Scholes has described it as ‘criminal’ goalkeeping. Scholes felt that De Gea didn’t look to claim the ...

According to the player’s agent Mino Raiola, the French international’s time at Old Trafford is over.
