Solskjaer wants Grealish AND Maddison in same Man Utd team

Manchester United want to sign Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish AND Leicester City's James Maddison this summer.

The Sun says United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is planning a £160million swoop to snap up Grealish and Maddison.

And United's boss hopes the fact the pair are close pals could tip the mega double-raid in his favour.

Maddison, 23, has opened talks with Leicester over a new deal.

But a £90m move to United would see him command a salary of £200,000 a week — double the money on offer at the King Power.

Star midfielder Grealish has been at Aston Villa for 18 years since joining at the age of six.

But the £70m-rated star is beginning to accept he will have to quit his beloved club to boost his England hopes and also play at the top end of the Premier League and in Europe.
