Pellegrini agrees to stick with England`s No 1 goalkeeper Joe Hart

London: Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has reportedly agreed to stick with England`s No 1 goalkeeper Joe Hart next season.

Hart`s future had reportedly been in doubt when Pellegrini dropped the goalkeeper from the squad following some howlers and started looking around at other alternatives available in the market. However, with Hart returning back to his best form, Pellegrini has warmed towards the goalkeeper after proving his point with the decision to drop him, the Mirror reported. The goalkeeper had been hurt by the spell he had spent out of the club, but his commitment to get back and his performance swung the decision back in his favour once, the report added. City had been considering Barcelona`s Victor Valdes before his injury and have had a long-term interest in Asmir Begovic at Stoke City, the report further added.
