News: Yaya Toure sad & upset how Man City celebrated his 31st birthday

Manchester City footballer Yaya Toure has caused a furore by saying the club failed to mark his 31st birthday in a satisfactory manner. Dimitri Seluk told BBC Sport that Toure was "very upset" and could leave.
Toure initially played down the row on Twitter, saying: "Don't take words that do not come from my mouth seriously." But he then wrote:  "Everything Dimitri said is true. He speaks for me. I will explain after the World Cup."
City gave Toure a birthday cake as they flew to Abu Dhabi and tweeted their congratulations after he turned 31 on 13 May, but Seluk says he was ignored by the club's owners when the squad arrived in the United Arab Emirates last week to celebrate their Premier League title triumph.
"None of them shook his hand on his birthday. It's really sick," Seluk said.
He got a cake but when it was Roberto Carlos's birthday, the president of Anzhi gave him a Bugatti," Seluk added.
"I don't expect City to present Yaya with a Bugatti, we only asked that they shook his hand and said 'we congratulate you'. It is the minimum they must do when it is his birthday and the squad is all together.
City declined to comment officially on Seluk's initial claims and are yet to respond to BBC Sport over Toure's subsequent comments. 

Imagine it's your birthday. You've gone to work. No-one acknowledges it.
That's the scenario Toure felt he faced last week. He says club owners ignored him and nobody shook his hand on his birthday. Man City responded by releasing a video of the footballer being presented with a cake on the team's flight to Abu Dhabi.
"Of course Yaya is upset about this. It is normal," his agent Dimitri Seluk said.
But do people expect a handshake, a "happy birthday"? A slap on the back? Cake or cards?
So what's the right way to deal with a colleague's birthday at work?
#Come on Man city, cake & bugatti? Close but not exactly the same!!!
