Barry Bannan has leapt to Jack Grealish's defence and told critics to 'lay off his back' amid his holiday in Las Vegas.
Grealish partied hard after Manchester City won the Premier League last season, enjoying himself at the trophy parade before jetting off to Ibiza.
The 26-year-old has since taken his mates to Las Vegas for an epic holiday as he enjoys his summer break.

But he's been warned by Stan Collymore about becoming a 'circus' like himself while referencing Paul Gascoigne.
Former Aston Villa star Bannan, though, doesn't understand the public condemnation of Grealish, jumping to his defence on social media.
He tweeted: "What is Jack Grealish actually doing wrong by being in Vegas enjoying his time off.
"Lay off the kid's back most other premier league players doing exact same but nothing being said!"
In another tweet, Bannan wrote: "Trying to ruin him it’s a shambles."
Grealish addressed his critics during the recent international break as he defended his trips abroad.

"I know people were saying last week, 'Oh, he's doing too much'. But what? I've just won the Premier League. It's a dream come true. Why can't I go on holiday?" He told The Mirror.
"There's people that are at England with me now who went to Vegas, Ibiza, Marbella, all these places. No one said a word, but because it was me, people were saying things.'
"I'm doing what I have loved doing my whole life. I'm the most expensive British player but I'm also the Jack from Solihull who my friends and family know. I'll never let that leave me, no matter what anyone says."
