Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Manchester City's football chiefs have failed the club.

Carragher wrote in the Daily Mail: "Sheik Mansour's recruitment of Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain from Barcelona was seen as crucial in helping transform City's philosophy and standing in the game.

"Yet have the changes gone to plan? I would strongly argue no.

"To have such riches but have one of the Premier League's oldest squads and be so heavily reliant on one player - Yaya Toure - shows there has been mismanagement and poor decisions with the quality and age of signings."
