Adebayor hits out at Man City

Emmanuel Adebayor has launched a scathing attack on Manchester City, after he was left out of the pre-season tour of the USA. Adebayor is desperate to find a new club for the new season and is desperate to join Real Madrid where he spent last season on loan.

Adebayor said: "This is very hurtful and insulting and says a lot about Manchester City.

"On the one hand they want to become the biggest, most successful club in the world, yet the people who run the club are not acting in that way at all. No-one at City is man enough to speak to me face-to-face to explain.

"I just received an email from Brian Marwood's secretary, a lady at the club called Claire, telling me to report for training on July 9. But when I spoke to the other players, I found out the first team was leaving for the pre-season tour of the USA on July 8.

"So it's clear they don't want me here but no one even called. Brian Marwood just got his secretary to send me an email. And I heard this was the same with at least six other players'."
