Manchester City beating Manchester United across the two legs of their Carabao Cup semi-final, means that they will be facing Aston Villa at Wembley.
This will see Jack Grealish come up against Pep Guardiola’s side, which has inevitably led to talk around the talismanic figure.
The Spanish manager has spoken highly of the 24-year-old, referring to him as “one of the best players in the league” as reported by BBC Radio 5 Live.
Villa fans have taken satisfaction from the fact that a manager who led Man City to the treble last season has spoken so glowingly about him.
One fan stated “you have some eye for spotting young talent”, while there was also reference to the fact that Gareth Southgate still hasn’t called Grealish up to the England squad.
Did he really play for us?! No Villa fan has managed to name all of these obscure Villans….
Considering he has nine goals and five assists in all competitions this season, despite being in a struggling side, does suggest that he has the prolificacy that top players need.
However, this has got some fans concerned that the Spanish tactician may eventually make a move for Grealish.
Aside from his goals, the 24-year-old has shown how influential he can be, especially in attack, averaging 2.6 key passes and 2.3 dribbles, while also being fouled 4.8 times per Premier League outing.
This has led to fans telling him to “keep your hands off him” and to “mind your business” as they look to keep hold of him.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa fans react to a potential loan exit.
