Manchester City defender Ruben Dias couldn't believe his eyes as teammate Nathan Ake shared a raunchy new campaign on his social media.

Ake is fronting the new Nike Underwear campaign and stripped down to his boxers for the ad. The Dutchman adjusts his pants and flexes his muscles in the raunchy video which garnered over 23,000 likes in less than 24 hours.

Nike recruited the 28-year-old in a bid to emphasise that the collection has been created for athletes with extra breathability and sweat-wicking fabric, but Dias didn't seem to care for the reason behind the photoshoot when seeing it online.

Ake's centre-back partner was one of the first to visit the comment section and ask: "Who is he?"

Hundreds of City fans spotted the comment on the post and dropped laughing emojis along with comments such as "that's what I wanted to ask" and "now we want your video for the Nike Underwear campaign".

Meanwhile, others defended Ake and responded to Dias' question with, "the best left-back in the league right now".

Other Manchester City fans were surprised to see Ruben Dias in the comments rather than another of the side's stars after last week's latest round of Jack Grealish shenanigans.

One follower wrote "Jack we're waiting for your comment" and another said, "you slayed Nathan, but we are also waiting for Jack to say something".

Ake and Grealish are known to be good pals after the English midfielder shared his recent purchase of a new mug emblazoned with a cartoon of 'Nathan Ake with t**s' over the weekend - before quickly deleting the photo.

Grealish also flaunted his penchant for social media last week after taking a visit to the Instagram account of Jude Bellingham and pleading with the Borussia Dortmund star to join City this summer, beind dubbed ‘agent Grealish’ in the process.
