Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Jack Grealish is expecting to spend most of his time on the left of the attack for the club this season.
Following his £100million British record move from Aston Villa, City boss Pep Guardiola said Grealish could play in a number of positions.
According to Daily Mail, Grealish has been earmarked to play a similar role to the one in which he thrived during the last two seasons at Villa Park.
The 25-year-old produced 14 goals and 15 assists in the Premier League in that period, sparking City’s interest.
During his Villa career, Grealish also played in a three-man midfield and also as a No 10 in a 4-2-3-1 system.
Guardiola hopes Grealish will play a vital role this season as they look to retain the Premier League title.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.

Just play him and Phil at LW/LCM and they’ll be so fluid you couldn’t tell who plays where 🤷♂️

Foden and Grealish can switch betweem LM/LW. Raheem works better as RW anyway. He can compete with Mahrez.
