  England international Kalvin Phillips made this young fan’s week with a heart warming gesture after a game of rock paper scissors.<\/p>\n

  The Manchester City midfielder was filmed on Instagram\u00a0signing autographs and posing for pictures at St George’s Park as the England team gathered for training.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  While moving along the line of fans, a young supporter tries his luck and asks Kalvin if he has anything on under his training quarter-zip.<\/p>\n

  When Phillips laughs and says yes, the young boy then says I’ll play you at rock paper scissors for it, to which the\u00a027-year-old agrees.<\/p>\n

  With smiles on each of their faces, the pair continue with the game that Phillips ultimately won.<\/p>\n

  However, the England ace still agrees to give the young fan his training top, which makes the person filming say: ‘Ah that’s too cute.’<\/p>\n

  People across social media praised the Manchester City player for taking the time to make the young fan’s day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  One person wrote: ‘[That’s] what football’s all about,’ while another said: ‘Little acts like that when you\u2019re younger you remember for the rest of your life.’<\/p>\n

  A third added: ‘Quality, such a down to earth guy, shame injuries have ruined him. I still back him to do well.’<\/p>\n

  A fourth also commented: ‘This is brilliant and such a joy to watch,’ while a fifth said: ‘Such an amazing human being @kalvinphillips.’<\/p>\n

  Two weeks ago, Pep Guardiola\u00a0admitted that Kalvin Phillips still ‘struggles’ in Manchester City’s system but insists the midfielder ‘always wants to learn’.<\/p>\n

  The person filming then describes the moment by saying: ‘Ahh that’s too cute man’<\/p>\n

  Phillips, 27, has made just 23 appearances for the Treble winners since completing a \u00a345million move from Leeds United back in 2022.<\/p>\n

  Reflecting on Phillips’ time with Leeds, Guardiola said: ‘Marcelo (Bielsa) gave Kalvin the best of Kalvin in his career,’ said Guardiola.<\/p>\n

  ‘I’d love to have done with Kalvin what Marcelo has done to him. We have our own specific way to play and (he) sometimes struggles in a few things, while the previous (Leeds playing style) was perfect (for him).’<\/p>\n
