However, for a short while, he was able to forget about that as he met with one of his City heroes.

Callum posed for photographs outside Aguero's house before heading inside to be greeted by the Argentina striker.

There, Aguero signed a pair of boots for him and had pictures taken alongside the family.

He also handed Callum a signed Manchester City shirt and showed him some of the mementos he has from his career, such as match balls signed by the squad for scoring a hat-trick.
