Action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme was present at Manchester City training on Thursday.

The Belgian actor and martial arts legend is in Manchester for a black-tie event and took the opportunity to drop into City's training ground to meet the players and staff.

The star of Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier posed for photos with the likes of Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and Vincent Kompany.

'The Muscles from Brussels' was one of the most well-known Hollywood actors during the 1980s and 1990s and is best known recently for popular commercials for major brands Volvo and Coors Light.
