Former Hammer Hart jets off to USA

Former West Ham goalkeeper Joe Hart has been a surprise name included in the Manchester City squad for their tour to the USA.

The 31-year-old has spent the past two seasons on loan at Torino and West Ham and is in the last year of his contract with the Premier League champions. He made 22 appearances for the Hammers last season on wages of over £120,000 per week but had to share his starting place with Adrian who took the goalkeepers jersey for over half the season.

Hart posted a look of surprise that he has been included in Man City’s trip to US on Instagram.

Pep Guardiola’s side will start their International Champions Cup campaign against Borussia Dortmund in Chicago on Friday before taking on Liverpool in New York on Wednesday 25 July and Bayern Munich in Miami three days later.
