It would appear that, despite his agent’s sustained whimpering, Manchester City did wish Yaya Toure a Happy Birthday on their trip to Abu Dhabi, with the entire squad singing to him and then presenting him with a City cake on the flight out.
Skip to the 2:27 mark…
To be fair, it looks like he may well have slept through it.
Indeed, City also wished Yaya a full and frank Happy Birthday on Twitter too…
Join us in wishing @Toure_yaya42 a very happy 31st birthday today! #mcfc pic.twitter.com/j7w7ryCDhy
