Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov received a lavish new Mercedes as he was given a hero's welcome on his return to Uzbekistan.

The 21-year-old returned to his homeland ahead of their crunch matches during the international break.

Khusanov arrived in the capital city Tashkent, before visiting his family and his former coach Ulugbek Asonboev.

On his arrival, Khusanov was presented with the keys to a new Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which is valued at £135,000.

He received the gift from Asonboev, who had been the first coach of Khusanov's career in Uzbekistan.

The defender, who appeared emotional after receiving the gift, then took the wheel of his new car.
