Manchester City winger Jack Grealish was greeted by a few emotional fans at a special event to launch the club’s third kit in New York City. The fans were moved to tears when the English player approached to greet them.
The Premier league defending champions held a brief training session at New York’s Central Park. The club is currently on a pre-season tour to the US, where they will face off against AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea. The Man City players, along with manager Pep Guardiola, enjoyed sightseeing in New York and attended a PUMA block party event to unveil the club’s third kit. Additionally, Jack Grealish tried his hand at playing basketball.
Prior to the event, the 28-year-old forward greeted some fans on Manhattan’s 5th Avenue, bringing some overwhelmed fans to tears as they took photos with him. The former Aston Villa player sported a quirky outfit, donning a basketball-themed Man City outfit. Grealish also briefly took on DJ duties at the event. He had previously made his official debut as DJ Grealo during a metaverse event in May of last year.

Jack Grealish prepares for a new season with Manchester City after Euro 2024 snub
Manchester City star Jack Grealish is aiming to rediscover his old form ahead of the 2024-25 EPL season, following Euro 2024 snub. The 28-year-old had a challenging season with injuries, managing only six goal contributions in 36 appearances across all competitions.
Injuries and the recent decline in form led to the player’s exclusion from Gareth Southgate‘s England squad for Euro 2024. This served as a wake-up call for the former Aston Villa star, who has struggled to make an impact since his £100 million move to City. Grealish is aware that Pep Guardiola will not tolerate another poor campaign, especially with Savinho‘s arrival increasing competition.
The 28-year-old is contracted until 2027, but another disappointing season could lead to his departure. Additionally, he will be looking to re-evaluate his role amidst recent partying allegations.
