Manchester United have identified both James Maddison and Jack Grealish as potential summer transfer targets, though it looks likely that they'll only be able to sign one of them.
The Leicester City playmaker and Aston Villa captain both impressed in the Premier League this season, before all football across Europe was suspended due to the spread of coronavirus.
Attentions are now turning to the summer. And former United player Jonathan Greening believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side would be better off targeting Grealish over Maddison - because the Leicester man may be too similar to January addition Bruno Fernandes.
Greening told the Metro via GrandNational why he thinks Grealish would bring something different to the table.
"Over the past few months, there’s been talk of Grealish coming or Maddison coming," said the man who was a squad player in Sir Alex Ferguson's 1999 Treble-winning side.
"I actually feel I would prefer Jack Grealish.
"Maddison is a very good player, super technical, he can create, great passing both short and long, and great on set plays.
"Jack Grealish, however, has that little bit of difference, he can take players on, he can drive forwards with the ball, and slide that pass through.
"He’s got that bit of grit and determination; and doesn’t like losing, you can see that in his game.
"Maddison is also maybe a bit too similar to Fernandes.
"Whereas Grealish will bring in something different, he can find pockets of space, he can drive at opponents and take on 2-3 players in one movement.
"He’d be a better player at United with the current squad than Maddison would be for me."
It remains to be seen whether United will sign either player, though MEN Sport understands their interest in both is genuine.
Jadon Sancho is also a priority target as Solskjaer looks to beef up his attacking options for next season.
