If you're Manchester City's new Brazilian import, Gabriel Jesus, then you head to the shops with your entourage.

Trailed by his friend, who had camera in hand, Jesus evoked his inner pensioner to take a leisurely trip around Britain's second-largest shopping centre.

The 19-year-old is currently sidelined with a broken foot and is not expected back before the end of the season, curtailing a very promising start in Manchester with three goals in four games.

An eight-minute cameo against Tottenham, which saw him score a disallowed winner, was followed up by a goal and assist in a 4-0 win over West Ham before a match-winning brace against Swansea City.
