Jack Grealish continued to enjoy his time off following the World Cup as he was snapped eating a slice of Joe's Pizza during his trip to New York.

The Manchester City star has touched down in the US as part of a break after England crashed out of the tournament in Qatar when Gareth Southgate's side lost 2-1 to France in the quarter-finals.

Grealish shared a snap of himself enjoying a slice of Pepperoni Pizza from the iconic New York restaurant Joe's Pizza.

In the snap, Grealish was wrapped up warm during a bitterly cold spell on the east coast of America, with New York expected to experience a White Christmas this year due to below freezing temperatures.

And he shared the post with the caption: 'Joe's PIZZA get in ma bellehhh.'

Grealish has been busy during his trip to the Big Apple, with the attacking midfielder also taking to Instagram to share his love for Christmas and reveal his obsession with the Home Alone movies, explaining how he was going to visit iconic scenes from Home Alone 2.

Home Alone is an iconic Christmas movie that sees an eight-year-old boy called Kevin be left behind when his family leaves for France.

At first, Kevin is happy with the peace and quiet but things take a turn when some thieves try to break into his house. The movie was such a big success, they commissioned a sequel.

In the second movie, Kevin accidentally boards a flight to New York City and gets separated from his family who are on their way to Miami.

The little boy then bumps into two of his old enemies, the thieves. Their goal during the movie was to rob a toy store. However, Kevin intervenes.

Grealish, like many Christmas fans, is an admirer of the Home Alone series so took to New York to retrace Kevin's steps.

He shared a picture of the Park Plaza Hotel, which is located on 5th Avenue and is used in the second movie.

He wrote the accompanying caption: 'If you know me, you know how much I love Christmas and Home Alone.

'So, I'm absolutely buzzing I could come to New York at Christmas time and basically just see everywhere Kevin went. The Plaza Kevin's hotel.'

Grealish went on to share another Instagram story with his fans but this time it was from Central Park.

Grealish visited the Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink which is located on the southeast corner of the park.

The 27-year-old captioned the photo: 'Little tour around Central Park. Harry & Marv ice rink.'

He went on to visit the Bethesda Terrace - which is a large plaza consisting of two levels as well as an Arcade and a fountain.

This plays host to another iconic scene within the Home Alone 2 movie. So, of course, Grealish had to mark the occasion with another Instagram story.

He took a photo of the Bethesda Terrace with the caption: 'Man like Kevin on the run in the park'.

It is unclear when Grealish will return to Manchester City after his break, but Pep Guardiola's side are back in action on Thursday when they face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.

They then return to the Premier League with a clash against Leeds on December 28.
