Man City midfielder Grealish denies Melo accusation

Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has denied Felipe Melo's accusations of insulting Fluminense's players during last night's Club World Cup final.

Melo sparked an all-in brawl at the final whistle and later stated he did so after Grealish and shouted 'ole' during City's 4-0 win.

The veteran said he didn't regret his actions and would so again in similar circumstances.

In response, Grealish posted to social media claiming: "Not once did I say ole."

Now 40, Melo starred in Italy with Juventus, Inter Milan and Fiorentina.
