Toure to decide on Man City future after World Cup

Yaya Toure's agent has revealed that his client will ponder his future with Manchester City later this summer.

The Ivory Coast midfielder is believed to be angry after City staff and officials showed a lack of respect when forgetting his 31st birthday on May 13 when the team arrived in the United Arab Emirates for their post-season tour.

Toure has already posted on Twitter that he will explain what occurred after he completes his World Cup duties with the Ivorians while his representative Dimitri Seluk has re-iterated the thoughts of the star midfielder.

"I don't know. Yaya will speak personally to staff and after that we will make a decision," Seluk told Sky Sports News.

"But nobody has apologised from the staff yet. If they don't want Toure then he can leave at any moment, no problem. Yaya is concentrating on the World Cup but if Man City is not respecting the player how can he be motivated to play for that team?

"Many clubs would be interested in him. There would be no problem finding a job."

Seluk added: "He is upset he wasn't congratulated. If you're a famous journalist and your boss forgets to congratulate, you would be a little upset.

"We don't ask for money or presents. We are just talking about attention. Some clubs send flowers to families. This is the main thing. Maybe at Man City they don't know what this is. After the World Cup he will speak."
