An emotional Jack Grealish poured his heart out to a Manchester City fan, declaring he loves the club "more than anything" - after singing with supporters at an Oasis gig.
The Manchester City and England star was seen delivering an emotional message to fans after Oasis' homecoming gig at Heaton Park in Manchester last Friday (11/07).
He was also seen singing 'four in a row' with a City supporter - in reference to Manchester City's historic 2023/24 title win, when they became the first side in Premier League history to win it four seasons on the bounce.
In the video, Grealish told fans he loves the club "more than anything", as speculation about his future at the club mounts.

The forward has been linked with a move away from the Etihad this summer, while his current boss and manager of Man City, Pep Guardiola, was also seen belting out the lyrics to 'Don't Look Back in Anger' at the gig on the same night.
An eyewitness said: "After the gig had finished around 10.25pm, he's chanting 'four in a row' and he's smiling and close with the fans. Another person shouts out for a picture, and he goes over - he was mixing a lot with other fans."
Grealish has also recently been in the news after a Manchester United supporter admitted to slapping the Manchester City and England midfielder following the Manchester derby, claiming the player had insulted him moments earlier.
Alfie Holt, 20, pleaded guilty at Manchester Magistrates’ Court to a single count of assault after an incident involving Grealish, who he alleged had called him a “little ugly w****r” after the high-profile match at Old Trafford in April.
Holt, a long-time United season ticket holder seated in the Stretford End, was handed a three-year Football Banning Order. He was also fined £120, ordered to pay £85 in costs, and a £48 victim surcharge.

Speaking in court, Holt, of Haven Drive, Droylsden, Tameside, said: “I did not expect him to say what he said to me and I have reacted. I regret it. That’s it.”
In a witness statement read in court, Grealish told police he could not hear what Holt was shouting due to the crowd noise and approached him to speak. Unable to make out the words, Grealish leaned in, then turned to leave—at which point he was slapped.
Following his arrest, Holt told officers he had been drinking before the game in Manchester city centre and had attended the match with his father. He admitted to shouting abuse at City players, including Phil Foden, who did not respond.
He then called Grealish a “k***head”, prompting what he described as a “verbal altercation”. He claimed Grealish called him a “little ugly w****r”, at which point he "flipped" and struck the player.
Holt’s Manchester United season ticket, which he had held for 12 years, had already been revoked—a consequence she described as “a significant punishment”. The court was told that fines could not be deducted from Holt’s Personal Independence Payments, and his parents had agreed to pay the full amount within 28 days
