BBC reports Holt stated  Grealish had called him ugly and a swear word after the Manchester Derby on 6 April.

He told the court, "I did not expect (Grealish) to say what he said to me and I have reacted. I regret it. That's it."

Holt was given a three-year Football Banning Order and ordered to pay a £120 fine. He is a United season ticket holder.
