Jack Grealish joined the wrong club! Rio Ferdinand & Ryan Giggs claim £100m Man City star ‘was a Man Utd player’
Jack Grealish, Manchester City’s £100 million ($133m) star, has been told he joined the wrong side of Manchester. According to legends Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, the England international always had the qualities of a “Manchester United player.”
Background:
- Transferred from Aston Villa to Manchester City in 2021.
- Broke the British transfer record at the time.
- Has since won both Premier League and Champions League titles.
- However, Grealish has contributed just 17 goals and 23 assists across 155 appearances.
- Recently, he has found himself slipping out of Pep Guardiola’s starting XI.
WHAT RYAN GIGGS SAID:
Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Ryan Giggs reflected on United’s recruitment history and drew a parallel with Ángel Di María:
“Di María was a United player, but we never quite played him in his best position. It’s the same with Grealish—he just fits the United profile.”
Giggs believes Grealish’s natural flair and style would have been a perfect match for United’s traditions.
FERDINAND AGREES:
Rio Ferdinand added:
“100 per cent. Grealish has the mentality—he just wants it.”
Both legends feel Grealish’s instinctive creativity and swagger would have thrived at Old Trafford.
LOOKING AHEAD:
Now 29, Grealish is once again at the center of transfer speculation. With two years left on his City contract, rumors are swirling that he could be on the move this summer as Guardiola looks to reshape his squad.
