Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits it's impossible to avoid speculation in football.

This came after Yaya Toure was again linked with a move away from the Club this week when his agent Dimitri Seluk stated he is '90% certain' the Ivorian will leave the Etihad this summer.

The 61-year-old stated: "It's impossible not to have speculation about the future.

"I'm not talking just about Yaya - I'm talking about players and managers. It's very important when you manage a big team to always understand that rumours are involved in your job."

He continued: "I think the most important thing for my job and all the players involved is just to try to win the last three games to finish as near the top of the table and after that we have a lot of options and we'll see what is the best option for the players."
