Jack Grealish sends message to Axel Tuanzebe after Manchester United loan exit

Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish has sent a message to Axel Tuanzebe after the Manchester United loanee completed his loan to Napoli.

The 24-year-old moves to Serie A for the rest of the season after finding first-team opportunities at Aston Villa restricted under new boss Steven Gerrard.

Having made nine appearances under Dean Smith this season, in addition to a fruitful spell three years ago, Tuanzebe was afforded just eight minutes by the former Liverpool captain.

Tuanzebe marked his move with a post on Instagram, to which Grealish soon replied.

"Good luck brother", Grealish wrote with a praise emoji and red heart.

Tuanzebe and Grealish have enjoyed two spells together at Aston Villa with the former's first loan spell at Villa being cut short before returning the following year to help Aston Villa earn promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.

Angel Gomes also added his best wishes to the defender.

Tuanzebe is the third Reds academy graduate to move on loan this January after Teden Mengi signed for Birmingham City and Ethan Laird swapped Swansea for Bournemouth.
