Manchester City and Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus wishes happy birthday to hero and pal Ronaldo as he shares photos documenting their friendship

Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus wished a happy birthday to fellow Brazilian goal machine Ronaldo as the two-time World Cup winner turned 41 on Friday.

Jesus used Ronaldo's nickname 'The Phenomenon' as he sent him a message on Instagram, accompanied by three photos of them together.

One photo showed a young Jesus, with braces on his teeth, playing Ronaldo at FIFA on the Xbox, while another was much more recent, as shown by the City star's increased muscle mass and tattooed arms.
