JACK GREALISH left his Manchester City team-mate Bernardo Silva fuming after whacking him on the head and then branding him an “angry Teletubbie”.
The midfield prankster left his Instagram followers amused with his random antics – but his Spanish pal looked less than pleased.

The two are known to have a good relationship and have previously appeared on each other’s social media joking around.
On this occasion the joke seemed to be entirely on 27-year-old Silva, who was completely caught off guard by Grealish.
The maverick England international recorded himself sneaking up on Silva who looked to be in the middle of a fitness session.
He then delivers two slaps to the back of the Spaniard’s neck, causing him to turn around in confusion while saying “ouch”.

In the caption, Grealish says his team-mate is “such an angry Teletubbie.”
A later post on his Instagram story shows a picture of Silva, arms crossed but smirking slightly, on an exercise bike.
Another post then directed at Silva shows a pic of the red Teletubby ‘Po’ from the famous children’s TV show.
The two players have frequently had light-hearted exchanges on social media, including when they reflected on City’s title success during the club’s May celebrations.

Grealish and Silva are both gearing up for the new season with Man City strangely only having two pre-season games before meeting Liverpool in the Community Shield.
Earlier today they beat Club America 2-1 thanks to two goals by Kevin De Bruyne, with both Grealish and Silva starting the game.
The former Villa player was even involved in a huge bust-up after he clashed with goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
They take on German champions Bayern Munich on Sunday.
