Yaya Touré will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed.

The 34-year-old midfielder has been one of City’s most influential players since joining the club from Barcelona in 2010.

He played a key role in the Premier League title successes of 2012 and 2014 but has fallen down the pecking order this term and started just seven games in all competitions. “He is not going to stay next season,” Guardiola said on Friday.
