Man charged with assault after Grealish incident in derby

A 20-year-old man has been charged with assault after Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish was allegedly slapped following Sunday's 0-0 draw with rivals Manchester United.

The Daily Mail reported that Grealish, 29, was confronted as he made his way off the pitch at Old Trafford following the goalless derby.

Greater Manchester Police announced in a statement on Monday that Alfie Holt of Haven Drive, Droylsden will appear at Manchester Magistrates Court on 14 July.

"This charge relates to an incident which took place at Old Trafford Football Club yesterday," the police added.

United and City both declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport.

The match was also marred by derogatory chants about Phil Foden's mother from Manchester United fans, which City boss Pep Guardiola said showed "a lack of class".
