Newcastle United fans have been warned that booing Jack Grealish on Sunday may motivate him into proving a point. It’s largely expected that the £100m man will get a feisty reception from the Geordie faithful following his comments about Miguel Almiron.
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.
