    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Melo and Walker were involved in a heated altercation after City's 4-0 Club World Cup win against the Brazilian side on Friday, with Grealish then dragging away his captain. After the match, Melo suggested it was Grealish to blame for what happened and not Walker, who seemingly stood up for his compatriot. The 40-year-old claimed the former Aston Villa star was shouting "ole" following the victory and accused him of being "disrespectful". Grealish then tweeted, "Not once did I say ole", and now Walker has taken to social media to back up his team-mate.
