Yaya Toure Apologises To Pep Guardiola & Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has refused to pick Toure until his agent Dimitri Seluk brings an end to his one-man war of words.

Seluk criticised Guardiola in April following his appointment as Manuel Pellegrini's replacement.
He continued his attack on the City boss after Toure was left out of the Champions League squad in September.

Guardiola indicated Toure could have played against Manchester United in the EFL Cup had Seluk apologised.

Toure has had enough of the situation and wrote a lengthy letter to City's management team.

He said in a statement: "I wish to apologise - on behalf of myself and those who represent me - to the management team and all those working at the club for the misunderstandings from the past. "Those statements do not represent my views on the club or the people who work there.

"I have nothing but respect for Manchester City and only wish the best for the football club.
"I am immensely proud to have played a part in the club's history and want to help City succeed further. I live to play football and entertain the fans.
"On that note, I would like to thank all of the fans for their messages through this difficult period. This means a great deal to me and my family."
