Authenticity (2.5/5): The Sun make shocking claim
Manchester United are believed to be among the number of clubs monitoring Jack Grealish's situation at Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola raising concerns over his superstar winger's fitness.
The story comes from The Sun, who aren't shy when making big claims, but aren't the most reliable when it comes to transfer updates.
Value (3/5): City to take a big hit
City splurged a record £100 million to sign Grealish from Aston Villa. However, they are unlikely to attract any significant bid for the 29-year-old, who has yielded precisely zero Premier League goals from his 15 appearances this season.
He is valued at £38 million by Transfermarkt, but even that appears too high considering his form and situation at the Etihad.
Suitability (3/5): Comfortable in possession
At United, Grealish could help Ruben Amorim's side push higher up the field and spend more time in the opposition's final third as he is very good at keeping the ball and winning fouls in crucial areas. However, he lacks decisiveness and killer instincts to make any considerable difference in and around the penalty area.
Upgrade? (3/5): Rashford replacement
Akin to Grealish, his fellow countryman Marcus Rashford also finds himself at odds with his manager and appears destined to leave Manchester. Should Grealish switch sides in the city, he is likely to replace the United academy product on the left flank.
Logic (2/5): Move abroad
Needless to say, Grealish would attract plenty of spotlight if he moves to Old Trafford after leading City to a historic treble just two seasons ago. It would be best for him to move abroad and try his luck in either Germany or Italy in a relatively quieter environment.
Whisper+ verdict: 13.5/25
United might be keeping an eye on Grealish's situation but considering what they need on the pitch and their rivalry with City, it's very unlikely the transfer rumour will go too far from here.
