Man City boss Pep Guardiola and Jack Grealish risk awkward run-in at Oasis gig
Manchester City Football Club boss Pep Guardiola and midfielder Jack Grealish are thought to be in the mids of a feud, with rumours Jack is set to leave the club Feuding Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and player Jack Grealish put their differences aside for one night – as they both went to see Oasis. The pair reportedly are no longer seeing eye to eye and Grealish, 29, is set to leave the club before the start of the season. And although the Gallagher brothers reunited for the Oasis tour, manager Pep, 54, and Jack kept their distance during the gig at Heaton Park for Friday night's show. Although they were in the same VIP section, onlookers said they watched the show some distance apart. An onlooker told the Mirror: 'Jack and Pep were stood in the same VIP section of the Oasis gig but at complete opposite ends of the stand. Brummie Jack was in full spirits, belting every word while Pep seemed to be more family focussed. The pair didn't interact with one another, at least publicly, but they both had a great night.' Pep, who attended the concert with his daughter Maria, is known to be a huge Oasis fan and Noel Gallagher even designed one of Manchester City's kits last season. Noel has also been seen on the pitch with the team after winning titles. Jack is also a big fan of Oasis and has led the team singing Wonderwall in the dressing room. Last month Pep left out playmaker Grealish out of Manchester City's squad for the Fifa Club World Cup. Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now!

Look after yourself and those around you," they said.
