Diogo Dalot of Manchester United has singled out Manchester City winger Jack Grealish as one of the strongest players in football. The two Manchester clubs are gearing up to face each other in the Premier League, and Dalot’s praise for Grealish adds an interesting dynamic to the upcoming match.
In a recent video shared on Goal’s Tik Tok channel, Dalot was asked to create his perfect footballer by choosing players based on specific attributes. When it came to strength, Dalot surprisingly selected Grealish over Erling Haaland, who is known for his physical prowess.
Grealish, who was signed by City for a club-record fee of £100m from Aston Villa in 2021, has made a significant impact at the Etihad Stadium. With 116 appearances, 14 goals, and 17 assists for City, Grealish has proven to be a valuable asset to the team.
Having faced Grealish twice before, Dalot understands the winger’s physical presence on the pitch. In a game where Grealish made three key passes and completed all three dribbles against United, Dalot acknowledges the City star’s strength as a key attribute.
However, Dalot and United can breathe a sigh of relief as Grealish will miss the upcoming match due to injury. This absence presents a challenge for City, as they will have to find ways to overcome United without Grealish’s physical attacking capabilities.
As the Manchester derby approaches, both teams will need to adjust their tactics and strategies to compensate for Grealish’s absence. The absence of such a strong player like Grealish will surely impact City’s game plan, and United will look to capitalize on this opportunity to secure a crucial victory in the Premier League showdown.
