Manchester United set for Jack Grealish Competition in Shock Move<\/h2>\n

Carlo Ancelotti Interested in Ambitious Signings<\/h3>\n

Carlo Ancelotti arrived at Goodison Park following the sacking of Marco Silva. A surprising appointment, the Italian had managed clubs like Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> and\u00a0Real Madrid,<\/a> he was now taking the reins in Merseyside.<\/p>\n

His appointment has been largely successful so far, with overall good results raising the Toffees to 12th. While this is not particularly impressive, especially for a club of the Toffees stature, they were in the relegation zone at the time of Silva\u2019s sacking, giving Ancelotti a challenging job.<\/p>\n

Other than results, the decorated manager has also brought with him ambition. Tom Gott of 90min<\/a> reported that they were considering moves for Real Madrid\u2019s Gareth Bale<\/a> and Aaron Ramsey<\/a> of Juventus<\/a>. Both of these players are rather high profile, and while Ancelotti makes this deal more likely, it will still be an uphill struggle with other top clubs interested.<\/p>\n

Similarly, this report now states that they will challenge Manchester United for the signature of Jack Grealish.<\/p>\n

Less Interest Now In Jack Grealish From Old Trafford<\/h3>\n

Manchester United have been chasing Jack Grealish for a long time. The Englishman has shown his class for Aston Villa<\/a> this season as the newly promoted side fight for their Premier League<\/a> lives.<\/p>\n

Despite his quality on the pitch, Grealish\u2019s attitude off it has been historically poor<\/a>, and his most recent scandal involved breaking quarantine during the Coronavirus pandemic, and crashing his car while driving drunk.<\/p>\n

This may throw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> off, not wanting a player without the right attitude, and could open the door for Everton to pull off this unlikely swoop.<\/p>\n
