Former Manchester United and England defender, Rio Ferdinand, isn’t backwards in coming forwards with an opinion these days, and he has suggested that former Aston Villa ace, Jack Grealish, isn’t happy at Man City.
The emergence of Jeremy Doku has seen Grealish’s minutes cut back, and that should be more than enough motivation from Pep Guardiola to get the 28-year-old forcing his way back into the starting line-up.
“If I am Jack Grealish, I was a happier footballer on the pitch in the 90 minutes at Villa,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“But I am here now and I am sacrificing happiness for that winning feeling which is a feeling you cannot describe at all so that outweighs the love of football.”

Grealish left B6 knowing that he will never be a 1st team choice every game
As a Villa fan i was gutted as Grealish was a big loss as he is such a talented player, but we have moved on now I wish him all the best but wouldn’t pay millions of £s to get him back
Great player but obviously thought he was bigger than the club I wish him well but just look at how well villa are doing now at the time fans thought it was the end of the world when he left but we’re stronger now so the decision to sell him was the correct one
Loved Jack but he seems lost at City. A shadow of his former self. Wish him all the best though. Pep has taken a lot out of his natural game.
