Carragher warns special Prem talent has no place at Man Utd because of trio Jamie Carragher does not think that Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is a player who Manchester United should be targeting this summer. United head into the upcoming transfer window looking to take the next step towards a firm title challenge. While they look likely to finish second in the Premier League this season, this summer will prove crucial.

Speaking to Sky Sports with his verdict, though, Carragher said that the midfielder – who can also operate out wide – would not fit into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans. “I don’t think he would fit in here at Old Trafford just because of the players they’ve got, not his talent,” the ex-Liverpool centre-back said. “They already have [Paul] Pogba playing on the left now, [Bruno] Fernandes, [Marcus] Rashford likes to play on that side. “I don’t think he’s a must for Manchester United, I think he’s definitely got the quality.” Grealish has proved a sensation since returning to the Premier League with his boyhood club. He had made his debut before Villa’s 2016 relegation, but he remained a raw talent at that stage.

United head into the upcoming transfer window looking to take the next step towards a firm title challenge. While they look likely to finish second in the Premier League this season, this summer will prove crucial. Indeed, failing to make the right additions could prove the difference in challenging Manchester City.

As for where the Red Devils could improve, pundits have mentioned several areas which need attention.

Gary Neville believes that captain Harry Maguire needs a proper, long-term centre-back partner.

However, Roy Keane insisted that he would like to see Villa skipper Jack Grealish slot into United’s team.

Speaking to Sky Sports with his verdict, though, Carragher said that the midfielder – who can also operate out wide – would not fit into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans.

“I don’t think he would fit in here at Old Trafford just because of the players they’ve got, not his talent,” the ex-Liverpool centre-back said.

“They already have [Paul] Pogba playing on the left now, [Bruno] Fernandes, [Marcus] Rashford likes to play on that side.

“I don’t think he’s a must for Manchester United, I think he’s definitely got the quality.”
