Manchester City announce Toronto friendly

Manchester City have confirmed that they will play a post-season friendly against MLS side Toronto.

The Premier League champions will turn out at the BMO Field on Wednesday, May 27, which will be three days after the campaign in England has drawn to a close.

"We are very excited about the game against Toronto FC. We know from our visit to Vancouver in 2011 the passion for the club which exists in Canada," chief executive Ferran Soriano told the club's official website.

"We have a very active supporters group in Toronto, and are looking forward to bringing our team to showcase their talents to our fans there."

With seven matches left to play, City are fourth in the table, nine points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
