In a 60-second clip widely shared on Twitter and other platforms, Grealish is seen entering a lobby at the Tunnel Club at the Etihad, where a receptionist calls him over to the front desk.

She asks him to sign a City shirt for a young girl seated in a wheelchair behind her, explaining she is a huge fan.

The player does so, then walks behind the desk and past security to give the clearly emotional girl a hug.

The one-minute clip has been shared on Twitter and Tiktok and viewed millions of times.

The Man City US official account shared the post, commenting: “Jack Grealish is a class act.”
