They were right to do so, with the Villains ending up holding out for a draw. Despite this, the match was an opportunity for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/65cb97b8\/Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> to observe an impressive talent first hand \u2014 Jack Grealish. The Englishman opened the scoring with a cracking goal, and afterwards, Solskjaer complimented him on it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourfourtwo.com\/news\/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-jack-grealish-man-utd-plays-down-transfer-talk-linking-move\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">saying<\/a> &#8220;I can\u2019t talk too much about other teams\u2019 players if they are Man United caliber or targets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But fantastic goal. I think he has hit one of those corners that I have hit a couple of times. It was a great finish but then again we should defend better and show him down the left.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But what a goal and he played a good game, definitely\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This further intensified reports that the Red Devils were considering a move for him and the speculation has not stopped.<\/p>\n<h3>James Maddison Also Attracting Their Interest<\/h3>\n<p>James Maddison is another promising Englishman on United\u2019s radar. The attacking midfielder has been very impressive for an over-performing <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/leicester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester City<\/a> team this season, causing many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1220842\/Manchester-United-transfer-news-James-Maddison-Leicester-Ed-Woodward-signing\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rumours<\/a> of the Manchester side\u2019s interest in him.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Make Intriguing Grealish and Maddison Decision<\/h3>\n<p>United recently made the decision to prioritise a move for Grealish over one for Maddison, according to Mitten. This comes even despite Grealish\u2019s recent breach of quarantine to attend a friend\u2019s party during the Coronavirus pandemic, only to crash his car when trying to leave, drunk.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils may, however, need neither of the players, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/bruno-fernandes\/profil\/spieler\/240306\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a> a perfect player for them in attacking-midfield.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"l0jgKEhSTyRLqfi4Fwnl1Q\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1211168031\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'l0jgKEhSTyRLqfi4Fwnl1Q',sig:'e6XcA95CZjmlqoyK8vRrri-o8QtIwGy3n4TbXSdmGK0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1211168031',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United have been monitoring both Jack Grealish and James Maddison for some time, and they have recently made an intriguing decision regarding the pair as to where their priorities lie, according to Andy Mitten.
