Aston Villa fans brand club's tweet welcoming back £100m hero Jack Grealish ahead of his return with Man City as 'out of touch', 'shocking' and 'terrible' as they deem it too friendly to an opposition player

Aston Villa fans have slammed their club's media team for posting a 'welcome back' tweet to former star Jack Grealish, branding it as 'out of touch' with the fans.

Grealish could make his Villa Park return on Wednesday night following his £100million move to Manchester City from Villa over the summer, with the midfielder set for an emotional return to his boyhood club.

Villa posted a tweet on the afternoon of the game thanking Grealish for the memories he gave the club, but the club's supporters have slammed the decision to be friendly to an opposition player on the day of the game.
