R. Ferdinand: "Grealish is a slightly better choice than Maddison"

In January, central midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who arrived at Manchester United, instantly became one of the team's key players, and the "Red Devils" hope to further strengthen the midfield in the summer.

Two main candidates, in addition to "Man Utd", are Leicester midfielder James Maddison and Aston Villa representative Jack Grealish.

According to former "Red Devils" defender Rio Ferdinand, the latter has a slight advantage compared to J. Maddison.

"Grealish or Maddison? A very good question," R. Ferdinand spoke to his followers on social media. "They are both rapidly improving and have had really good seasons.

However, they are very different players. Maddison can take the ball and create plays. He scores goals, provides assists, creates chances for his teammates. Maddison can find himself in the right place. He is an excellent footballer and I really like him.

Grealish also can do all these things, but he has one advantage over other players in this position.

He can take the ball and attract several opponents to himself, thus creating space for his teammates. That's what I like most about his game.

He also has a bit of arrogance, because he understands his worth and capabilities. For me, Grealish is a slightly better choice than Maddison," said the former Manchester United defender.
