RYAN GIGGS reckons Manchester United will need more than a Jack Grealish transfer to help them keep up with rivals Man City.
The Birmingham-born midfielder has been the subject of transfer gossip for a few seasons but has stood by the club he’s played for since the age of six.

And with Aston Villa in the midst of a relegation battle the 24-year-old rising star has been linked with a big summer move away from the club.
United, who are gunning for a top-four finish, are rumoured to be leading the race to sign Grealish who’s netted seven league goals so far in an impressive term.
And Red Devils legend Giggs reckons the playmaker has the look of a player who fits Manchester United’s mould.
Giggs told Premier League Productions: “He looks like a United player, he takes the ball, he attracts loads of fouls.
“I mean, if a quality player like that comes available, United are going to be (interested)”.
While Giggs believes Grealish could be a good addition, the former Wales international reckons his old club are in need of more firepower up top.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, the club’s two leading scorers this season, have so far scored a combined 25 league goals.
And loanee Odion Ighalo – who will remain with the club until the end of January – is still establishing himself within the team.
Giggs believes three to four signings, including a quality forward, could help Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer’s men keep pace with City.
Explaining the need for more than just Grealish, the former Old Trafford winger added: “I still think if we’re going to catch City, we’re three or four players short.
“I would say that we definitely need a centre-forward.
“Someone who, if a team is deep, is going to play deep and be on the end of those passes, crosses and score 25 goals.
“But [it’s] definitely exciting and promising with Bruno [Fernandes] and [Paul] Pogba coming into the team.”
Pogba won a penalty which Bruno Fernandes converted during United’s 1-1 away draw at Tottenham on Friday.
The World Cup-winning France star and his teammates are due to face Sheffield United at home on Wednesday.
