Gareth Barry says Jack Grealish would thrive under Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola

Former Aston Villa star Gareth Barry believes Jack Grealish would thrive under manager Pep Guardiola, should he make the move to Manchester City this summer.

The Villans captain has transformed into one of England’s best attacking players and he has excelled this term with six goals and 11 assists from only 19 top-flight games.

His form has led to speculation that he could pursue a big-club move to play in Europe, but Barry feels Grealish could still achieve the aim with the west Midlands outfit.

He told TalkSPORT: “He knows where he is until the end of the season, he should try and get Aston Villa into a European spot.
