Emmanuel Adebayor has continued his attack on Manchester City, claiming he feels insulted and disrespected for not being taken on their pre-season tour of America.

Adebaylor spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Madrid and spent a portion of the final few weeks of his stay making positive noises about remaining at the Bernabeu.

A deal failed to materialise and he was summoned back for training at Eastlands. But the former Arsenal forward was unhappy to learn that he was being made to train with the reserves while the first team were on tour.

He initially refused to train, but has since had a change of mind and elected to take part in the sessions. This, though, is under sufferance as he is far from happy with the club's stance.

"I don't know what I have done wrong," he is quoted as saying in The Sun. "I get an email, out of the blue, on my holidays telling me I wasn't going on the tour and they told me I am not going to train with the first team.

"It's an insult to me to tell me I am now only fit to train with the reserves.

"I will return to training but I feel I've been let down and disrespected."
