Sources close to the 29-year-old said that the relationship between Pep Guardiola and the goalkeeper has not been cordial since day one. Hart believes the new City manager never had him in his plans before arriving at the Etihad.

Furthermore, according to the rumours, Guardiola has agreed a €16 million deal to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

And Joey Barton reacted:  “It is disgusting. It is not the club I left. The club I left and watch now are two totally different organisations. The club I played for wouldn’t have treated a player that had been a servant for as long as Joe has in the manner that it has.”

The player, who departed City in 2007, continued:  “It is common human decency, regardless of how good a coach you are. Why treat him like that? He is a full international, somebody who, probably before City took the money, could have gone on to bigger and better things himself but stayed and wanted to be at City.”

Barton added: “I don’t see what he has done wrong to be treated the way he has. His attitude isn’t terrible. I don’t like this. I’ve watched Caballero and are you telling me Caballero is better with his feet than Joe Hart? I haven’t seen it.”

The player concluded: “Why not let him fight for his place and then if he is not good enough say: ‘I have given him an opportunity’. That’s what every manager should do, give everyone an opportunity.”
