Grealish 'always wondering' why opposition fans boo him

Manchester City winger Jack Grealish failed to be as much of a headache for the Arsenal defence in Sunday's goalless draw between the Sky Blues and Gunners as he has been on other occasions, leading to him being one of the highlights of the showdown. 

After the final whistle, an intense Pep Guardiola approached the player to explain certain tactical issues he may have got wrong during the game, something the Spaniard has done with other players throughout his career. However, that was not all the former Villa player was in the spotlight for. 

The England winger was whistled at by the Arsenal fans and it is not the first time Grealish has been unwelcome at an away stadium, something he was keen to talk about at the end of the game. "I always wonder: why do the opposition fans boo me? My mum always asks about it as well," he said.

"But I don’t actually know. At every away ground I go to, I get booed and I’m not entirely sure why. I just try take it as a positive or compliment," the Cityzens forward concluded.
