Dimitar Berbatov ranks Jack Grealish at the top of Manchester United’s transfer targets

Dimitar Berbatov believes Jack Grealish should be Manchester United‘s No 1 transfer target this summer – but the former striker has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against signing yet more midfielders.

The United boss is keen to bolster his midfield options once the current campaign – which starts next week – finally reaches a conclusion later this summer.

And the Red Devils are already scouting how they can improve their squad once the transfer window reopens, with Atletico Madrid‘s Saul Niguez, Leicester’s James Maddison and Aston Villa captain Grealish all on the club’s transfer wishlist.

Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho is also wanted by United but may be out of the club’s price range at £100million.

And while Grealish would make an excellent addition to the squad, Berbatov has pointed to United’s already stacked midfield.

Berbatov told BetFair: ‘Manchester United have been linked with Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid again.

‘For me looking at the situation, Pogba is back, Fernandes is there, they have McTominay who needs to play regularly because he’s young and is doing so well, Mata is there, Matic is there who is great at what he does and to put one more in the mix is only okay if you are going to use them and have them playing regularly because that transfer will probably cost a lot of money.

‘In my opinion, I think they have enough quality in the team anyway, especially with Pogba coming back, but maybe Solskjaer has a different decision and he has decided that they need someone to strengthen there.

‘There have also been reports about United being interested in Jack Grealish, last week Sancho was their top target, this week it’s Grealish, next week it will be somebody else.

‘There are so many players associated with a move to United at the moment, it is a good thing I suppose and for the players it boost their reputation.

‘I can see Grealish being a better fit at United than someone else, he is used to the Premier League and he is producing great goals and assists.

‘But, he is similar to Fernandes, Pogba and Mata in a way and you don’t want too much similarity in your team.’
