Yaya Toure open to Manchester United move as his agent says no new deal at Man City expected
YAYA TOURE is open to a stunning move to Manchester United with no new deal at Man City expected.
The Ivorian’s agent Dimitri Seluk said he is talking to other clubs and that he does not expect Toure to be a City player next season.

Seluk, asked about a possible move to United, told Sky Sports: “Why not? Jose Mourinho is a very good coach. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was together with Yaya in Barcelona.
“I understand this is two clubs who are rivals but for me, for example, this is not a problem for Yaya or for me, this problem will be for Manchester City staff.”
Toure, 33, sees his contract under Pep Guardiola expire at the end of the season.
The two have not got on since the ex-Barcelona manager’s arrival and Toure has only played since the back end of last year after he apologised for moaning at being left out of their Champions League squad.
Seluk said he has received offers from Italy and Spain but that fierce rivals United remain an option.

He added: "At this moment the situation is like this: from yesterday we officially started negotiating with different clubs about his future.
"We waited until March 15 for what Manchester City will say but until now Manchester City don't say anything.
"Before March, we didn't negotiate with anybody because Yaya does a lot with Manchester City, so we waited.
"But we cannot wait until the last minute, until June and have no negotiations with anybody.
"Some clubs have contacted me. Now we have three options.
"I don't speak about Yaya and China or the MLS. He will play in Europe.
"I have spoken with clubs in different countries, Italy and Spain."
