​Guardiola reiterates Aguero an important player for Man City

There were rumours last week that Sergio Aguero faced an uncertain future at Manchester City, after the Argentina striker was left out of the side's 4-0 defeat against Barcelona.

And while boss Pep Guardiola says that he is excited at the signing of Brazil's Gabriel Jesus - a £27m summer purchase from Palmeiras who will arrive at the club in December - he insists Aguero is still his main man.

"We are so happy because Jesus is 20 years old playing as a nine for Brazil," he said. "He has Fernandinho and Fernando to help him adjust.

"I am so happy with Sergio and hopefully he can stay for the long time here. I want him to stay and play with us. He's a special player."
