A neighbourhood Italian restaurant praised for its 'authentic' cuisine has become a regular haunt of almost the entire Manchester City squad. Vero Moderno in Salford is known for its rustic Italian menu with a contemporary twist - and its warm welcome from Italian owner Beppe Piccoli and his team.
And word has rapidly spread among the Blues - with a succession of City's top players and coaching team heading to the Chapel Street eaterie in recent months. Players including Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland, Aymeric Laporte and Rodri have all been spotted there.
The restaurant has posted photos of some of the stars who regularly join them, most recently of Jack Grealish, saying: "Our Man City family grows by the day!" But when followers have asked what the players like to eat the owners reply: "We are sworn to secrecy".
