Hart offered no first-choice guarantees at Man City

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has no guarantees he will be first-choice this season.

Willy Caballero has arrived from Malaga as direct competition.

The Mail on Sunday says City boss Manuel Pellegrini, who managed Caballero at La Liga side Malaga, is unconvinced by Hart's kicking and judgement as he seeks a modern 'keeper sweeper' in the mould of Manuel Neuer.

While Hart's physical attributes are of huge benefit in ordinary Premier League games, they are not as important against top clubs or in the Champions League.
