Manchester City to replace Aguero with Dortmund star

“Yes, I’m surprised”, said Guardiola, whose side climbed to third place in the table on 49 points, 10 behind leaders Chelsea.

Gabriel Jesus is only 19 years of age but is already a full-fledged worldwide for Brazil. I said, ‘Take your time, come back when you feel you’re ready’.

“It was close range and it was a bouncing ball which is not always best for the goalie, but maybe I got caught a bit between catching it and trying to palm it away. I don’t think we deserved to win but a draw would have been fair”.

The 19-year-old Brazilian volleyed in an 11th-minute opener at the Etihad Stadium and then netted a stoppagetime victor after Gylfi Sigurdsson had equalised for Swansea with nine minutes to go.

But Jesus had the final say, tucking the ball into the net at the second attempt after his header from Silva’s right-wing cross had been parried by Fabianski.

“It is clear how his first touch is good”.

That was until a few weeks ago and Manchester City paid £27 million ($33.6 million) for 19-year-old Brazilian Gabriel Jesus.

Pep Guardiola says he has been hugely impressed by Gabriel Jesus’ start to life at Manchester City and will keep him in his first XI despite Sergio Aguero spending time on the substitutes’ bench.

City are also adamant the 28-year-old will not be leaving in the summer. “I see that the Premier League is a different league, very competitive, very strong, but I like leagues like that, where nothing is easy, and I hope, together with my team-mates we can win it with Manchester City“.

“No, no, I don’t want to leave”. I am fine. It is normal.

“As a young player you can sometimes drop your level”.

“He’s a great player”, Aguero said.

If Guardiola continues to choose Jesus before Aguero in their coming games, he will certainly have to think about his future, but for now the Argentine is concentrating on helping his team. Could Guardiola decide that Aguero is surplus to requirements?
