Jack Grealish is unmoved when facing Manchester United players
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Manchester United appeared consistently up to week 17 of the Premier League. The Red Devils won 2-1 against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Saturday (02/01) am, WIB and continued to stick to leaders, Liverpool.
Two of MU’s goals were scored by Anthony Martial (40 ‘) and Bruno Fernandes (61’ penalty) while Aston Villa’s goal came from Bertrand Traore in the 58th minute. MU won the match with only 48% of ball possession, but was effective with 19 kicks and nine on target.
Thanks to that result, Manchester United continues to stick to Liverpool and now has the same points as them: 33 points. MU also still has one match postponed. The win has satisfied Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but he did not want to talk about the league title.
“Of course we are thrilled with our current position,” said Solskjaer as quoted by Goal.
“There is a big difference if you look at 12 months ago. You lose the chance to be there or around it in the first 10 games, you can lose the chance to be in the title race.”
“For us now it’s a great position to come in but we need to improve, we have to get better. There will be a lot of tight games, but if you can win games like tonight it will make a big difference.”
In this match, MU showed the mentality to make up for their inconsistent performances at the start of the season. Apart from the appearance of MU, the performance of one of Aston Villa’s players, Jack Grealish was also in the spotlight.
Understandably, Grealish is the backbone of Villa and he was also linked with Manchester United in the summer transfer market. The England national team players have given their everything but it was not enough to save the hosts’ three points alone.
According to Squawka Grealish, MU players have been violated eight times. There hasn’t been a single player in the Premier League with that record so far and Grealish in that situation provided one assist.
Grealish has provided seven assists in the Premier League and is one of the highest assist providers, the same as Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne, under Harry Kane (10 assists). It was only a matter of time before he went to a bigger club.
