Gary Neville tells Joe Hart not to 'throw his toys out of the pram' and stay at Manchester City to improve under Pep Guardiola

Gary Neville has urged Joe Hart to stay at Manchester City and expand his footballing education under Pep Guardiola.

Hart was left out of the City side that beat Sunderland 2-1 on the opening day of the campaign, prompting talk that the England No 1 would be swiftly bound for the Etihad exit.

But, speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Neville explained Hart would be unwise to 'throw his toys out of the pram', and could instead benefit from Guardiola's Continental approach.

'The fallout since (he was left out against Sunderland) is that Joe Hart will have to consider leaving,' said Neville.
