Jadon Sancho received a stern warning for what he did to Vincent Kompany in Manchester City training.
The England international never made a first-team appearance for City but trained with the big-hitters like Kompany, who is reportedly interested in bringing him to Bayern Munich.
But there is a slight bit of history between the pair, pertaining to Sancho's love for showboating.
The 24-year-old, hailing from Camberwell, London, learned his skills from cage football and that street football background is clear to see in his game.

Sancho loves a nutmeg but captains at two of his former clubs did not take kindly to having the ball rolled through their legs and let him know about it.
And after seeing Kompany's shocking outburst to Johann Berg Gudmundsson, you can't imagine he was too happy.
"I nutmegged the captains of Dortmund (Marcel Schmelzer) and City (Kompany) and they said 'don't do that again'. They don't like it," he told JD Football.
Despite the warning, Sancho has still not been afraid to bust out a nutmeg on two whether in training or in the pitch as he leaves to get people off their feet.

"I feel like street football has helped me a lot. For me personally I just like to show what I have and just try and do everything for my team," he told SPORTbible in an exclusive interview in 2019.
"If it does include a nutmeg then it includes a nutmeg. I'm more than happy to get the crowd cheering, get excited and stand on their feet."
Sancho returned to Manchester United for pre-season after a loan move at Dortmund and made amends with Erik ten Hag.

However he is still not deemed to be part of the Dutchman's plans at Old Trafford and is available for a transfer this summer.
A shock switch to Chelsea as part of a swap deal which would see out of favour England colleague Raheem Sterling move to United, has been mooted.
