Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs believe Manchester City star Jack Grealish would be more suited to Manchester United. Grealish signed for the Sky Blues for a reported £100 million from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021. Since arriving, Jack Grealish has made 155 appearances for Manchester City across competitions, recording 17 goals and 23 assists.
He led the side to one UEFA Champions League title and three Premier League titles, among other honors. However, Grealish's stint at City failed to live up to his transfer fee, given his inconsistency over the years. In this season, the Englishman has not been a regular in Pep Guardiola's starting XI, with only three goals and five assists in 30 outings across competitions.
In a conversation on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand discussed how Jack Grealish would be more suitable at Manchester United than with their local rivals. Giggs compared the situation to that of Angel Di Maria, and said (via The Mirror ): Ferdinand agreed with the former Manchester United forward and added: Jack Grealish 's current contract with Manchester City runs until June 2027. However, his future may no longer be secured due to the decline in his form and the Sky Blues' average run in this season.
It remains to be seen if Grealish survives Pep Guardiola's revamping of the squad this summer. During a discussion on Sky Sports' Stick to Football , former Manchester United ace Gary Neville claimed he feels upset about Kevin De Bruyne's situation at Manchester City. The Belgian superstar is set to leave the Etihad Stadium as a free agent at the end of this season.
Neville said (via Man City News ): Speaking to Jamie Carragher, Neville added: Kevin De Bruyne has made 35 appearances for Manchester City this season, contributing five goals and eight assists across competitions. The 33-year-old is often considered among the best Sky Blues players of all time. At his age, it is not unheard of for a player of his stature to continue playing in Europe.
It remains to be seen whether the Belgian heads for the next chapter of his career. Pratyasha Sarkar Pratyasha is a Pop Culture and a European Football writer for Sportskeeda. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature, and has over 3 years of experience in the pop culture industry.
