“I have to Leave Manchester City this Summer I don’t like the way Pep Guardiola is treating me, I was on bench against Burnley and now Brentford-Manchester City star ‘not happy’ at place on bench and ‘leaves training early
When Jack Grealish was put on the bench again for Monday night’s game against Brentford, Pep Guardiola got a heavy response from the player.
Manchester City will want to keep up their good form after winning the FIFA Club World Cup by beating another team in the Premier League. They want to close the gap between themselves and Liverpool to just two points.
If Pep Guardiola’s team beats Brentford and Everton next week, they could go to the top of the Premier League table. However, Everton beat Manchester City twice last season, at the Etihad Stadium and the Gtech Community Stadium.
On Monday night, the Sky Blues have the chance to make their perfect streak 12 games long. Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland will both start in attack for the first time since August.
De Bruyne will only make his third Premier League start of the season, while Haaland will make his first start since early December, when they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa.
Guardiola also gave starts to Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and Julian Alvarez. The 53-year-old made a lot of changes to the team that beat Burnley 3-1 on Wednesday night.
The Manchester City manager’s choice of team has apparently made some members of the first-team squad angry. For example, forward Jack Grealish is upset that he was put on the bench for the fourth straight game.
According to information from MCFCTone on X, Jack Grealish was “not happy” about being left on the bench for Monday night’s game against Brentford in West London. He then left the club’s training practice early.
The Englishman, who is 28 years old, hasn’t started for Manchester City since early January, when they beat Huddersfield Town 5-0 in the FA Cup third round. However, he came on as a substitute in last week’s win over Burnley, which was played by Vincent Kompany.
Since the beginning of the season, Jack Grealish has started 18 games for Manchester City and not played at all five times.
