Kevin de Bruyne has launched a defence of Manchester City teammate Jack Grealish, claiming he has been unfairly criticised for his recent form just because he is English.
The 27-year-old winger became City's record transfer in 2021, joining the club from Aston Villa for a fee of £100 million after he shone as one of England's most exciting young talents during Euro 2020.
But Grealish has had a difficult start to life at the Etihad, contributing just six goals and four assists last season despite making 39 appearances for the club.
