Why are people taking Tim Sherwood's words as gospel. He wouldn't have a clue what's going on.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

He managed Grealish in fairness and was the manager to really promote in him the first team.
Could see him replacing Sané (on a numbers front). They have bigger positions of priority but Pep’s never been afraid to hoard attackers.
20 years as a footballer - short-term manager of both Spurs and Villa, and he knows Grealish. He probably knows a lot more than ITK journalists
You mean giggs who's trying to push that welsh lad playing in Germany on us like he did wasteful James over Jadon, meh.He later asked a question to Ryan Giggs whether Grealish is the one what United need, Giggs didn't answer his question directly about Grealish and instead Giggs spoke about the quality of Bruno & Pogba can give to help United.
Also in another post you say " If Grealish comes here, he's likely to play as Bruno & Pogba backup " as do a fair few others to be fair, seriously ? You really think a guy who turned his back on a country in hope of playing for England and is 27 is just going to go to a club to play backup or the odd game
What about you take a deep breath, drink water & re-read my post again because it looks to me you are drunk. Your post doesn't make any sense, you are arguing about something that isn't even connected to my post.You mean giggs who's trying to push that welsh lad playing in Germany on us like he did wasteful James over Jadon, meh.

Maybe not, but 24 year old Jack Grealish probably would.You mean giggs who's trying to push that welsh lad playing in Germany on us like he did wasteful James over Jadon, meh.

Chuck in Jones, Chong, Rojo and maybe even Mata while you're at it. Instant squad improvement.
I totally agree that it makes him sound very irresponsible but do people think there is anything in this recurring rumour that Grealish was celebrating sealing a move to United on that night he crashed his car, initially I thought it was complete and utter rubbish but when you think back there were stories back in February he was set to join until coronavirus stopped the season.
I really don't see what all the fuss is about.
Is this guy really going to help us close the gap on the best clubs in Europe?
Not saying he's a bad player, but is he the best player United could get?

If that’s the case it’s not irresponsible, it’s totally understandable. feck covid, feck lockdown, feck drink drive laws, let’s sign this guy he clearly loves United.
So potentially endangering lives is understandable drink driving understandable tell that to a victim of it whose lost their child or friend.
Easy tiger, I was taking the piss. What is it with some people on here?
It's a squad game, and he's a clear upgrade on our backups.
I'm still a huge fan. Would hate to see him go to City. Think Guardiola would work wonders with him
Yeah totally agree,hopefully the fact we already tried to buy him in January shows we are keen.
Thought I also read somewhere we have been tracking him since the final days of Fergie,mind you I could easily be mistaken on that.
Unfortunately, that's what it costs for a top-class player as a backup.
There's Thiago Alcantara who's apparently available on cheap. Can be fantastic cover for both Bruno and Pogba.
I think a lot of people are underrating how good Grealish actually is.
Indeed, he's quality.
Nope. Donny Van De Beek is clearly better but we are blinkered when it comes to English players. Clearly a British only transfer policy which is ludicrous.
I don't see United wanting to pay £40m for a squad player. I also don't see Grealish wanting to be a backup player at this time in his career.
I dont think so, Grealish would probably be cheaper than VDB. We need a squad at a reasonable price.
Grealish has not only the technical ability but the personality to be a top Manchester United player. He plays without fear and works his socks off. We cannot rely on just 2 creative protagonists (Bruno and Pogba) and that’s assuming Pogba stays or neither player gets injured. Man City have rotated or played all of de Bruyne and the 2 silvas. We need 3 and in fact they can all play at the same time
For me grealish is born to play for United. You can’t have too many good players. I love the way grealish grabs a game by the scruff of the neck. We must get him.
He is English and he knows the premier league so he can hit the ground running....
All this talk about his personality and how he's a leader and shows no fear. So why would he want to sit on the bench? Why would we even spend 40m on a player that isn't going straight to the starting lineup? I've asked this question before but how many times has clubs spent 40m on a player in his prime that isn't needed as a starter?
Considering there are 50-60 games to play and we now know our best 11 - who outside that first 11 can come in without diluting the quality. Injuries? Rotation? We cannot rely on Bruno and Pogba - simple
I think Tim Sherwood is correct.
Between Matic, Fred and McT, I just cannot see how people think that DM is a priority. We didn't struggle this season with a leaking midfield against strong teams - we struggled with creativity and lack of depth over the course of the campaign. Signing Grealish would solve these issues and he would get more than enough game time.
Feck sake. Thought he had inside info.
What have I missed?
How is this still a thing post-Bruno? Jesus wept
I'm aware of that. I'm not questioning whether we need him because we do. I'm questioning whether we can get him. Because it makes no sense to spend 40m on a rotational player in Covid. If we can get him for less then fine but 40m is the fee being thrown out there and that's too much for a rotational player even pre Covid. I'm also questioning why he would come here to be a rotational option with how his character has been described.
I think if we get him it means either we are not getting Sancho or we are preparing for Pogba's possible departure. Or both. I'd be surprised if it weren't the case and happy of course

Post Bruno post Ighalo
Started reading Sherwood's comments and though he has inside info. Looks like he is just speculating.
Tough. They need to play better then to retain their place. If United want to return to the top level of English football they need competition for places and no players resting on their laurels.
You say that United need to fill other holes in the team first. Adding quality to the attack is exactly what they need. The only glaring hole is the right side of attack. You would hope they'll sign more than one player.
As for investment, they have a £190m back 4; Pogba, Bruno, Fred and Matic cost £240m. The last significant investments in attacking players (still at the club) were Martial under LVG and Mata under Moyes.
Still the most realistic option, but if Woody wants to burn money on Griezmann that should be Ole's decision to make.
Then he should not be going anywhere near City where Sterling, B.Silva and KDB are the first names on the sheet across the positions he plays.
Van de Beek isn't clearly better. Most people here have seen him play 3 times, in an Ajax team that was flowing on enthusiasm and a few fantastic talents. Grealish would be the better fit for us I think.
I mean, we did just bring in Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo. Tough to argue we have a British ONLY policy imo.
Bruno will look good in the England top in the next Euros.
I could also say fans are blinkered when it comes to foreign players. There are so many players within the PL we could buy and will fit into the team. How often have you watched Donny play? CL games?
What about eredivise games against 3rd bottom team ?
His stats are not too different to Grealish playing in a relegation team.
