Argentina team-mate and Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been trying to sell the city to Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.

"He already knows there's no beach," Aguero told Sky Sports.

"We play every three days so we just eat, rest between games - so the weather is not really that important.

"So I told him that Manchester is ideal as a city because you stay at home all day, you play every three days, we can eat, we can meet up, drink mate (a traditional Argentine drink) and play football together."
