Manchester City star Jack Grealish has revealed that his dad gave a fake name to Manchester United scouts when they showed interest in the youngster.
The 26-year-old won his first major honour with City on Sunday but revealed his dad had to come up with a quick-witted way of avoiding interest from local rivals United when he was a member of Aston Villa's Under-10 side.
Grealish signed for Aston Villa when he was six before officially starting with the club's Under-10 side three years later.
After joining Villa's academy the England international was supposed to leave his Sunday League team, Highgate United, but he couldn't resist returning for a small tour with his former side.
