EXCLUSIVEJack Grealish 'slapped in the face by Man United fan': Man, 20, is arrested and charged with assault - in new crowd shame after vile Phil Foden mum chants

A man has been arrested and charged after Jack Grealish was allegedly slapped in the face by a fan at the Manchester derby.

The City midfielder was making his way off the field following Sunday's 0-0 draw when he was beckoned over by a member of the crowd next to the tunnel, at the bottom of the Stretford End.

In shocking scenes, Grealish was then assaulted – triggering a police investigation.

A 20-year-old man was subsequently charged with assault and will appear before Manchester magistrates in July.

Grealish, 29, is not thought to have been seriously injured following the attack.
