Jack Grealish is facing a crucial summer in his Manchester City career after a solid but unspectacular debut season following his £100m move last year.
And now former City captain Richard Dunne has urged Grealish to build on his first season as a Blue by working hard in pre-season and follow the example of teammate Riyad Mahrez in kicking on for his second campaign. Grealish admitted his first season was 'harder than I thought', in the aftermath of City's Premier League title win, expanding that he has been caught in two minds between expressing himself and wanting to keep the ball and stick to Pep Guardiola's instructions.
With that in mind, Dunne says Grealish will be stronger for his experiences next year. Speaking to MEN Sport on behalf of Bet365, Dunne said: "It's a hard one because I wouldn't say he's had a bad season, he's just probably not showing the same importance to Man City as he did at Villa which is obvious because he's ahead of the players at Villa.
