MANCHESTER CITY defender Nathan Ake has shown off his impressive physique in a new underwear advert.
But team-mate Ruben Dias was quick to mock the Dutchman on social media after he shared a clip of the shoot.

Ake, 28, shared a clip of him sporting Nike underwear on his social media.
And the short video showed his ripped body as he posed in the pants.
Captioning the footage, he added: “First things first #nikeunderwear @nike #teamnike.”
That prompted centre-back partner Dias to respond in hilarious fashion.

The Portuguese defender, 25, said: “Who is he? 🤣”
Ake has started 17 of Man City’s 27 Premier League games this season and featured in all but three of them.
He has shown his versatility by playing both left-back and centre-back on numerous occasions.
And his importance in the squad increased when Joao Cancelo joined Bayern Munich on loan in the mid-season window.
Speaking about Ake back in January, Man City manager Pep Guardiola said: “Nobody talks about Nathan and right now he’s playing beyond our expectations as a left-back.
“As a defender, how good he defends, all the actions with the ball are clever, these types of players help to make the others bright like Kevin [De Bruyne] and Erling [Haaland].
“I always pay attention to these types of things.”
