Paper Talk: Man Utd switch midfield targets to £80m man after Grealish incident; Tottenham given Willian hope Manchester United look set to switch midfield targets after the Jack Grealish incident, while Willian has hinted at a move to Tottenham, according to the latest transfer gossip on Tuesday. MAN UTD TURN TO MADDISON Manchester United may turn their attention to Leicester City and England midfielder James Maddison after long-time target and Jack Grealish was involved in another off-field incident. The Daily Star reports that United had firm interest in landing AstonVilla skipper Grealish in a deal that could have cost up to £70million this summer. Having scored nine goals and added eight assists in a difficult campaign for Dean Smith’s men, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer views the attacking midfielder as a good partner for Bruno Fernandes. However, this may all change after the 24-year-old was involved in a car accident during the coronavirus lockdown. And with the Villa man facing potential repercussions, it could see United shift their focus to Leicester’s Maddison. United have been keen on the Foxes star for some time and a mega-money deal for the 23-year-old could now be more likely after Grealish’s accident. Maddison will come with a bigger premium though and is expected to cost more than £80m, if the Red Devils do decide to try and make their move.

MAN UTD TURN TO MADDISON

Manchester United may turn their attention to Leicester City and England midfielder James Maddison after long-time target and Jack Grealish was involved in another off-field incident.

The Daily Star reports that United had firm interest in landing AstonVilla skipper Grealish in a deal that could have cost up to £70million this summer.

Having scored nine goals and added eight assists in a difficult campaign for Dean Smith’s men, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer views the attacking midfielder as a good partner for Bruno Fernandes.

However, this may all change after the 24-year-old was involved in a car accident during the coronavirus lockdown.

And with the Villa man facing potential repercussions, it could see United shift their focus to Leicester’s Maddison.

 

 

United have been keen on the Foxes star for some time and a mega-money deal for the 23-year-old could now be more likely after Grealish’s accident.

Maddison will come with a bigger premium though and is expected to cost more than £80m, if the Red Devils do decide to try and make their move.
