Gabriel Jesus clearly still has fond memories of his childhood days as the Manchester City star imitated a throwback photo of himself.

The Brazilian took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a photo of himself from when he was younger, looking fresh-faced and innocent, while folding his arms.

Accompanying the photo from the past was a picture of Jesus from the present, with the caption: 'Sera que mudei?', which translates as 'Did I change?'

Well, no, actually. While Jesus has clearly aged and now has a beard and tattoos on his muscular upper body, the little boy is still instantly recognisable in the 20-year-old football star.


Jesus is currently gearing up for Brazil's World Cup qualifier with Colombia on Tuesday night. 

Brazil go into the game on the back of their 2-0 victory over Ecuador last Friday, thanks to goals from Paulinho and Philippe Coutinho. 

The victory ensured that Tite's side finished top of the South American World Cup qualifying group with three games still remaining.
