    Manchester City are considering filing a damages claim against the Sun for further ruining the reputation of vilified midfielder Nigel De Jong , according to Dutch reports.

 

Following De Jong's leg-breaking tackle on Newcastle United winger Hatem Ben Arfa , the newspaper published pictures of an incident at Manchester City 's Carrington training ground of De Jong making a challenge on Kolo Toure , who then rolls around on the ground pretending to be in pain.

 

De Jong was then pictured jokingly checking Toure wasn't hurt, with a City coach pretending to give him a yellow card.

 

And Manchester City claim the footage and the way it was portrayed further damage De Jong's reputation.

 

Meanwhile, the Dutch Telegraaf newspaper says De Jong, who was left out by Holland after the challenge on Ben Arfa, feels that he was "dropped like a brick" and made a scapegoat after Dutch coach Bert Van Marwijk came under pressure.
