Yaya Toure: I joined Manchester City to help make them more like Manchester United

Yaya Toure has said he joined Manchester City in order to make the club more like bitter rivals Manchester United.

The Ivorian left Barcelona for The Etihad in 2010 and has since won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups.

And on spending £24million on Toure, City's aim was to change the culture of the club into a winning machine.
