I think they both have the arrogance, mentality and more importantly, the ability to play for United.

Madison's form has dropped a bit, but he plays in centre midfield, and on the whole, does a good job of it too. Still up there in regards to created chances in the league.

Grealish started as an 8 for Villa, and did well, but I guess Villa lack of end product in the final third made sense to push Grealish higher, which has obviously helped Villa going forward. Think he'd obviously play as a midfielder if he were to come here, though.

At the moment, I would probably edge towards Grealish. There's just something about him I love. I get that Beckham vibe about him. Someone who would come in and own that 7 shirt. Honestly wouldn't grumble if we got Maddison, though. Both very good talents.

7 is for Sancho. Grealish can take 11 Bruno 8.

Translation, Grealish gets fouled a lot due to his ability to quickly beat a man.

I think they are both good but Grealish better for me.

Also guaranteed to be a lot cheaper. That said unless Pogba goes we won't go for either imo.
I think he gets fouled a lot because he holds onto the ball for too long and hasnt the burst of pace to get away from the opposition

The problem we have is that Grealish is a 'dyed in wool' Villa fan, living his dream as Villa Captain. If Villa stay up, is he going to come here and give up being a big fish in a small pond?

Have you seen him play?
He gets fouled because he takes the ball into dangerous areas having beat a man with his acceleration and surprisingly good pace with the ball. He holds onto the ball to let others catch up to him.

I just dont see this at all. He can pick a pass when hes able to but he hangs on to the ball for far too long.

Neither are good enough to lead a big side to a title. We need Fernandes level players not them.
