Man City boss Pellegrini: England asking too much of Hart

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini believes too much has been asked of Joe Hart too soon.

Hart is under pressure after a poor start to the season.

Pellegrini said: "I saw the whole of last season, but last season is past. We must see about the present and future and for this moment, I think it is best for the team that Joe Hart continues.

"Joe is working with another goalkeeping coach. I trust a lot in Xabier Mancisidor, he is a very good goalkeeping coach. I worked a lot with him in Malaga and Real Madrid and I am sure Joe will improve in a lot of things during the whole year.

"Joe is a very young goalkeeper, I think he arrived to the top in England maybe too young and he needs a lot of things to improve and Xabier will do it."
