The Manchester City midfielder was walking off the pitch towards the players’ tunnel when the alleged incident occurred, according to the Daily Mail, prompting a police investigation. Both Manchester clubs declined to comment when contacted by the PA news agency, citing the live investigation, although it is understood United are cooperating with police inquiries. Advertisement A statement from Greater Manchester Police said: “Alfie Holt of Haven Drive, Droyslden, has been charged with assault. He will appear at Manchester Magistrates Court in July. “This charge relates to an incident which took place at Old Trafford yesterday.” Grealish came on in the 74th minute of the goalless draw at United as City missed the chance to return to the top four. His fellow midfielder Phil Foden was the subject of vulgar crowd chants about his mother during the first half, which drew a strong rebuke from City boss Pep Guardiola at the end of the contest. “The chants to him? Lack of class. But it’s not United, it’s the people,” Guardiola said. “We are so exposed, the people who are now on the screen in world football – managers, owners, and football players, especially. “Honestly, I don’t understand the mind of the people, involving the mum from Phil, being involved in that. “It’s a lack of integrity, class – and they should be ashamed. But it’s what it is, it’s happening everywhere I would say, not just in UK, everywhere.” Press Association Send Tip or Correction Embed this post To embed this post, copy the code below on your site Email “Man charged after alleged assault on Jack Grealish at end of Manchester derby”.
