Man City ace Gabriel Jesus admits he must improve his diet

Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus admitted he must make drastic improvements to his diet or face the wrath of his mum.

The 20-year-old has made a sensational start to the Premier League this season with four goals in six games. 

With no apparent weaknesses to his game in front of goal Jesus, rather honestly, revealed to The Sun it’s fatty foods that makes him buckle at the knees. 

‘I have to improve healthy eating a lot,’ he admitted. 

‘At home I don’t feed myself so well. If I’m travelling, I eat bad things like pizza and pastries. I could eat pastries every day. 

‘I don’t know if it’s because of my age that it doesn’t make any difference yet – but I’ll still have to work.

The 20-year-old has been in sensational form this season and has four league goals in six 

Manchester City’s No 33 admitted he’s addicted to pizza and pastries and could eat it everyday

‘I will [have] to eat better now or my mother will tell me off.’

The Brazil international credited his mother, Vera, for inspiring his formidable form this season by making him eat healthy traditional cooked meals.

While the youngster could find himself in trouble if Pep Guardiola got wind of it, the Spaniard might be tempted to avoid upsetting the City current as things are going rather swimmingly at the moment.

Pep Guardiola won’t be too happy to hear his star striker is eating unhealthy foods but won’t want to disturb the flow of his City side, who have looked near unbeatable in recent times

Plus, Vera is on the case, anyway. 

City sit joint-top of the Premier League with their bitter rivals Manchester United and have won five on the bounce, scoring 17 goals and only conceding twice.

Guardiola’s men will be confident of improving on that record when they take on struggling Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
