Rio Ferdinand doesn’t consider Bruno Fernandes to be an obstacle for Manchester United to sign Jack Grealish, however, he isn’t certain that whether Grealish will fit in the squad.
Grealish has been linked with a move to Manchester United for quite a long time, and with the Aston Villa star at present on International duty for the England team at Euro 2020, those links have just strengthened even more.
But still many have raised questions about whether Fernandes’s positioning is the problem for Grealish transfer. Bruno Fernandes has been very creative for Man United and has been hugely influential in scoring many goals for the side.
In any case, as per United legend Rio Ferdinand, it’s not Fernandes who is the problem in the Grealish transfer saga.
Ferdinand while speaking to UMM’s YouTube Channel, said: “I don’t think Bruno Fernandes is the problem. “You’ve got Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba that are both playing on the left and that’s where Jack plays. His best position is on the left, and his next best position is No 10. They’re the positions where our most influential players are right now. So I think it’s difficult to see him at Manchester United right now. If he leaves Villa, I just don’t think it’ll be to Manchester United, unless they ship one or two of those boys away. I see it as a difficult deal to be done for Man United.”
United have now offered £50million for Real Madrid star Raphael Varane, and with talks over Jadon Sancho progressing, that may put any Grealish deal off the table for Manchester United.
We agree with Rio Ferdinand.
