A man was arrested and charged after Jack Grenish was slapped in the face by a fan of the Manchester derby.
The city midfielder came out of the field after the 0-0 Sunday draw when she was signaled by a member of the crowd next to the tunnel, at the bottom of the stretford end.
In shocking scenes, Grenish was then attacked – triggering a police investigation.
A 20 -year -old man was then accused of assault and will appear in front of the Manchester magistrates in July.
Grealish, 29, would not have been seriously injured as a result of the attack. He came for Ilkay Gundogan in the 74th minute.

City and United refused to comment on the live investigation. United is supposed to work closely with the police.
A Grand Manchester police spokesman said: “Alfie Holt, 20, from Haven Drive, Doylsden, was accused of assault. He will appear in Manchester Magistrates short.
“This accusation relates to an incident that took place yesterday at the Old Trafford Football Club.”
The incident came at the end of a dull game in which Phil Foden of the city was mocked tirelessly by fans of the house.
After the match, the city boss, Pep Guardiola, said that the derogatory songs on the family of the playmaker of England showed “a lack of class”.

Sections of the crowd of Old Trafford have constantly labeled Foden’s mother a “S ** g” throughout the afternoon.
“Lack of class. But it’s not united, are they people, you know? said Guardiola.
“We are so exposed, people who are on the screen in world football – managers, owners and football players in particular.
“Honestly, I don’t understand the minds of people involving Phil’s mom. It is a lack of integrity, of class, and they should be ashamed.
