Man City will learn from past mistakes on Yaya Toure's birthday - Pellegrini
MANCHESTER -- Manuel Pellegrini is considering whether to mark Yaya Toure's birthday next week by giving him a cake as he joked that Manchester City need to learn from the mistakes they made last year.
The midfielder's relations with the club became strained after his agent, Dimitri Seluk, accused City of failing to respect his client by not giving him a cake on his 31st birthday.
City actually did provide a birthday cake, and had footage to prove as much, but while Seluk said on Thursday that Toure is "90 percent" likely to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer, Pellegrini is wondering how to celebrate as the Ivorian turns 32 on Wednesday.
"We will think what is the best thing for him. It is important to learn from the mistakes that you have in the past," the City managed quipped in a news conference.
