Man Utd ‘set to turn transfer attention to James Maddison’ and scrap £70m bid for Jack Grealish after car crash shame

MANCHESTER UNITED will reportedly abandon plans to bid £70million for Jack Grealish this summer after his car crash shame.

And the Premier League giants will instead shift attention to Leicester City ace James Maddison.

Grealish then crashed his Land Rover into other parked vehicles, and ended up issuing a public apology for his actions.

And now, according to the Daily Star, it looks set to cost him a dream move to Old Trafford.

Maddison, who "United have been keen on for some time" has reportedly jumped to the top of the shortlist.

It would leave United fans drooling at the prospect of Maddison alongside Bruno Fernandes in a creative midfield.

The Mirror claim Grealish was not alone in flouting lockdown rules.

They say two other top-flight footballers - who have not been identified - joined the midfielder at the party.

Grealish drove 10 miles from his home in Barnt Green, Worcs, to spend Saturday night at a flat owned by former team-mate McCormack.

It was there that he was allegedly joined by two more unnamed Premier League footballers.

Grealish apparently smashed his Range Rover into three parked cars near Solihull, West Midlands.
