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.
The former Aston Villa star joined City in 2021 and was a key part of Pep Guardiola’s Treble-winning side in 2022-23.However, he has struggled for regular playing time over the past two seasons and started just seven league games in 2024-25.
“Of course, Jack has to play,” Guardiola said in May. “He’s an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days.
“It didn’t happen this season and last season either. He needs to do it – with us or another place.
“It’s a question for Jack, his agent, and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he fought like he fought from day one to make a contribution.”
Yesterday we told how Spice girl Mel B is set to party with the Gallaghers by heading to the Oasis gigs this weekend – just a week after getting married.
The Spice Girl, known as Sporty Spice, is also understood to be among the VIPs on the guest list for the Heaton Park shows, at a time you traditionally would be on honeymoon.
One music insider said: “It just shows how big these gigs are that Mel is even considering an Oasis honeymoon. The Spice Girls and Oasis were two iconic parts of the Nineties though and she may fancy the chance to remember those times in the sunshine.”
Leeds born Mel married Rory McPhee at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London on Saturday. She wore a traditional white gown, adorned with pearls for the wedding, while her new husband Rory, 37, wore a traditional Scottish tartan kilt.
