Yorke makes brutal assessment of GrealishCompared him to United attacker RashfordCity star won't get into Ten Hag's lineupWHAT HAPPENED?

Yorke further compared Grealish's condition to that of United attacker Marcus Rashford as he suggested that the drop in form of the English stars is a matter of concern for both Manchester clubs. After an underwhelming 2023-24 campaign for their respective clubs, both players saw themselves excluded from Gareth Southgate's 26-man Three Lions squad that finished runners-up behind Spain in the recently concluded Euro 2024.
WHAT DWIGHT YORKE SAID
Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League Betting, Yorke said: "Grealish to Man United? In his current form, Jack Grealish wouldn't get into Manchester United's team. He is similar to Rashford being paid a huge amount of money and having so much potential but dropping off. You don't mind going through a phase when you're not a little bit off and we all have those moments, but the drop off is a significant one in both players.
"That comes down to whether or not they really focused on what got them to where they are. These are probably questions that only these guys can answer. They have ability in abundance, that's why Grealish was worth a hundred million. That's why Rashford is put into the bracket because he has all the attributes to be the type of player. What we have seen is the drop off. There must be something within there that is not correct, that is for United and City to work out."

Grealish will be next seen in action on Tuesday as City face Barcelona in a pre-season friendly. Rashford, on the other hand, will take the field for Ten Hag's side against Real Betis on Wednesday.
