Manchester United FC news: Yaya Toure 'loves' Paul Pogba, but could never join Old Trafford outfit out of respect to City fans

Yaya Toure would love to be a mentor alongside Paul Pogba but believes Manchester City fans would not accept him joining Manchester United.

Ivorian Toure is searching for a new club having ended his eight-year spell with City and wants to continue playing at a high level.

The 35-year-old is a big admirer of United midfielder Pogba, who has faced regular criticism for inconsistent performances since his £89million move to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016.

And Toure believes he would be an ideal ally for the France international.

"I love Paul Pogba," Toure told the Manchester Evening News.
