Newcastle United fans warned that booing Jack Grealish may backfire against Manchester City

Back in May as Manchester City were celebrating winning the Premier League title, Grealish was captured making a joke about Riyad Mahrez at Miguel Almiron’s expense. The England international remarked that Mahrez had played ‘like Almiron’ during the champions' final-day victory over Aston Villa.

It was a remark that angered most Newcastle fans who felt it was a disrespectful dig at Almiron. The Paraguayan had a storming pre-season with many Toon supporters joking it was down to Grealish’s harsh words serving as motivation.
