Brazil legends back Gabriel Jesus to shine at Manchester City

Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos is among Brazilian stars backing Gabriel Jesus to succeed at Manchester City.

Jesus made his debut against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday after finally completing his £27 million move from Palmeiras.

Former Arsenal midfielder Edu and ex-City players Elano and Robinho have also said they expect the 19-year-old, who has won six caps for Brazil, to shine at his new club.

Edu, who made more than 100 appearances for the Gunners, told Brazilian TV channel SporTV: "When he showed up in the Brazilian national team, it was possible to see that he will be a great, great player at the European level, as is already happening.
