Manchester City star Jack Grealish has decided to leave behind a disappointing season with a bold new look. The 29-year-old midfielder, who joined City in 2021 for a record £100 million from Aston Villa, has struggled to meet expectations. This season, he has been overshadowed by teammates like striker Erling Haaland.
Grealish is now following in Haaland’s footsteps by changing his hairstyle. He recently swapped his usual look for a ponytail, aiming to make a fresh impression on the pitch. Haaland is well known not only for his goal-scoring but also for his distinctive blonde hair, which has earned him sponsorships from major shampoo brands.
The timing is notable, as Haaland is currently sidelined with an ankle injury. This gives Grealish a chance to step up as City push for a late Champions League spot. Currently, Manchester City sits fourth in the Premier League, just one point ahead of sixth place, in what is Pep Guardiola’s most challenging season as manager.
Grealish has managed only three goals and five assists in 31 appearances this season. With City facing Nottingham Forest at Wembley in the FA Cup final on May 17, he will have a chance to showcase both his new hairstyle and improved form. However, the match’s kick-off time might change due to a scheduling conflict with another major event.
As City fight to secure their place in Europe’s top competition, Grealish’s fresh look signals his determination to bounce back and contribute more to the team’s success.
