Dimitar Berbatov believes that Jack Grealish may be too similar to Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in Manchester United’s interest in the Aston Villa captain.
Once the 2019/20 campaign is over, United will be ready to enter the market to do so strengthens Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team in view of the 2020/21 season.
MEN understand Jadon Sancho Jack Grealish and Jude Bellingham are the club’s three key goals this summer.
However, Berbatov is surprised that Solskjaer is still trying to strengthen his midfield, especially with Pogba returning when the Premier League season resumes on June 17th.
“Manchester United has been tied again with Saul Niguez of Atletico Madrid, and for me looking at the situation, Pogba is back, Fernandes is there, they have McTominay who needs to play regularly because he is young and is doing so well, Mata is there, Matic is there that is good at what he does and putting another one in the mix is only okay if you use them and you play them regularly because that transfer will probably cost a lot of money, “said Berbatov Betfair.
“In my opinion, I think they still have enough quality in the team, especially with Pogba coming back, but maybe Solskjaer has a different decision and has decided that they need someone to strengthen themselves there.”
Berbatov added: “There are so many players associated with a move in United at the moment, it’s a good thing I suppose and it increases their reputation for the players. I see that Grealish fits better with someone else’s United, he’s used to the Premier League and is producing great goals and assists.
“But it’s similar to Fernandes, Pogba and Mata in a way and you don’t want too much resemblance in your team. With all these names mentioned it will be interesting to see if they really sign any of them or maybe none will go because for me they have enough midfield players.
“Once they have finished this season, and the players are out of contract or are leaving, then they may need someone. But if everyone stays, and buys two more, they will have to let go of a couple, or if the players are not they are happy so they have to go to the manager and tell them that they are not happy with all the other players in the same position “.
