Man City star Jack Grealish agrees with Kevin De Bruyne about his unfair criticism

Jack Grealish says he agrees with Manchester City teammate Kevin De Bruyne 'a little bit' that he is unfairly targeted for his actions on and off the pitch because he is English.

Grealish's form has come under plenty of scrutiny in the year since his £100m move from Aston Villa last year, and his activities on holiday were the subject of many critical front pages over the summer. He has started this season in better form for City, although his lack of goals and assists - he scored his first goal of the season at Wolves on Saturday - has invited more predictable criticism this season.

And De Bruyne said after that Wolves game that players of other nationalities don't get the same level of scrutiny as his English colleagues, with Grealish responding to those comments on Tuesday.
