While Gary Neville was quick to praise Bruno Fernandes for being “clever” during his Sky Sports commentary recently when he won a penalty for Man United, it appears that Jack Grealish will need to up his game if he wants to move to Old Trafford.
The Aston Villa star was tipped with a move to Man United again by the Manchester Evening News today, but he might be embarrassed when he sees this back:
Can see why Grealish is linked with United now #AVLCRY

Bruno: I'm the best diver in the league
Grealish: Hold my beer.

It’s very possible that there was contact on his foot, but it’s unlikely it was enough to cause him to go down in such a theatrical manner.
Man United broke the Premier League record for being awarded the most penalties in a season when Fernandes won one against Villa last week, and that could be why these fans are joking about Grealish trying to impress United with his theatrical skills:
Rate Grealish Audition for Man United/10#AVLCRY
He did well in my opinion though, a Jersey change will perfect the art. pic.twitter.com/K7DwJjDObr

??? Grealish making his best Bruno Fernandes impression. Great audition for Man United though. Should be a starter next season for them https://t.co/lZYGzn7TzS
