Manchester United told to sell Paul Pogba to fund Jack Grealish transfer

Michael Owen says that Jack Grealish would be a more suitable player for Manchester United than Paul Pogba. The Red Devils have shown an interest in signing Aston Villa star. Grealish has been impressive during this season with having made 31 appearances in which he has scored 9 goals and provided 8 assists. “That’s going to be probably the most fascinating thing when they come back, whether he (Ole Gunnar Solskjaer) puts them both (Pogba and Fernandes) in the same team,” Owen told Premier League Productions. “I think it’s taken a huge bit of pressure off him (Solskjaer) that Fernandes has done fantastically well. Now he doesn’t necessarily have to put Pogba in straight away because there’s going to be questions about whether they can play together. “It might also accelerate the departure of Pogba now Fernandes is a brilliant player because all of a sudden… when you’re watching Manchester United you’re missing someone with creativity, you’re missing someone with vision but now since Fernandes has come in you’re not missing any of that.” Meanwhile, Pogba has made 8 appearances during this season as he suffered an injury. “Now he [Pogba] might just be dispensable if they get a big bid,” Owen added. “If I was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer I could get big money bearing in mind they’ve got Fernandes now and then you could go and invest in someone like Grealish. “He might have the style that compliments Manchester United better than Pogba does at the moment.” source - Manchester Evening News
