The agent of Yaya Toure has attacked Manchester City chiefs and manager Manuel Pellegrini. Toure's Monaco-based agent Dimitri Seluk believes that Toure is being made a scapegoat for City's miserable season.

Seluk told the Sunday Mirror: "Some people at City are trying to blame Yaya for what has happened this season.

"But those people aren't taking responsibility for their own mistakes.

"I am talking about executives who have bought players for a lot of money - and then put those players on the bench.

"I am talking about executives who spend a lot of money on Stevan Jovetic and then drop him from the Champions League squad.

"I feel sorry for Pellegrini. He is a good coach, but a weak manager.

"He won the title with the team left behind by Roberto Mancini.

"It seems the answer for everything at City is to blame Yaya."
