Jack Grealish Was Considered More Suitable for Manchester United than Paul Pogba

DBasia.news – Manchester United were advised to release Paul Pogba and buy Jack Grealish. The Aston Villa captain was considered more suited to the Red Devils compared to Pogba.

Pogba’s contribution with the Red Devils was often highlighted by various groups. Not a few who rated the French player has not been able to give a big influence for MU, although now he’s holding the record as the club’s most expensive purchase.

Pogba’s opportunity to show off his team’s performance was also hampered several times due to injury. Since the beginning of this season alone, he has been injured for most of the year and only appeared eight times in all competitions.

As a result, rumors are circulating that MU will release Pogba in the upcoming player market. The former Juventus star is also the target of a number of top European clubs such as Real Madrid.

One who agreed with the idea was Michael Owen, a former Manchester club striker. In his view, the presence of Pogba at Old Trafford has been replaced by Bruno Fernades, MU’s newest recruit.

Owen also suggested MU to buy Grealish instead of retaining Pogba. The British player has lately been linked with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team at the upcoming transfer window, and is considered more compatible with MU’s playing style.

“This will probably be the most interesting thing when they return, whether Solskjaer will put them both [Pogba and Fernandes] in the same team. I think this will be a pressure for him when Fernandes has done a fantastic thing,” said Owen, as quoted by Daily Star.

“Now he no longer needs to place Pogba directly because there are many questions about whether they can play together. This could also accelerate Pogba’s move because Fernandes is a brilliant player,” he continued.

“Right now he [Pogba] might be released if they get a big offer. If I was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, I could get big money as they already have Fernandes now.

“Then you use that money to invest in players like Grealish. He has a style that will make Manchester United better than Pogba now,” concluded Owen.
