He is frequently spotted in his local Sainsbury's and Morrisons.

Bielsa was snapped at Leeds Station before the Whites headed down to London for their clash with West Ham.

Wearing a mask and clutching his Sainsbury's bag, fans couldn't resist speculating what was inside.

The Leeds Everywhere Twitter account, which shared the photo, hoped it was a bag of cans, in true away day fashion.

One speculated: "Peejays and toothbrush."

Another fan guessed: "He'll have his flask of hot water, his "calabash gourd" (cup) and his "yerba mate" tea. Argentines wouldn't leave home without that."

"Maybe there's some crayons and a colouring book in there for Alioski," said another.

And another said: "There is a pint of milk and a couple of pork pies in there."
