Nasri’s in the dock

- FROM DAVID MCDONNELL

MANCHESTER CITY outcast Samir Nasri has become a divisive figure on the club’s pre-season tour of the US.

He spent last season on loan at Sevilla after Pep Guardiola told him he had no future at the Etihad.

The Frenchman is on the three-match tour to the States to gain fitness and form to attract potential buyers – as there is no queue for the £120,000-aweek playmaker.

But City stars have complained Nasri, 30, is going through the motions while the rest of Guardiola’s squad are focused on the season ahead.
