Man City boss Guardiola: I've told Gabriel Jesus to...

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has told new signing Gabriel Jesus to take a break.

The teenager forward signed for City from Palmeiras for £27million four months ago but was allowed to see out the Brazilian league season, helping the side win the title.

The highly-rated youngster is currently resting after being granted a holiday by Guardiola.

"He has gone nearly three years without a holiday," Guardiola said.

"They played the Olympic Games, won the gold medal, and then immediately after he played again with Palmeiras.

"He needs a little bit of time to rest, maybe two weeks, three weeks, one month, I don't know, we are going to see. He just came to start the contact, to see where he is going to live, where he is going to work, the place, and that's all."
