Yaya Toure: 'I want to help Manchester City become bigger than United'

Yaya Toure is confident that he can play a part in making Manchester City a bigger club than Manchester United.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has expressed his ambition to help make the Etihad Stadium side a bigger club than Manchester United.

The 33-year-old has been brought back into the Citizens' fold in recent weeks after initially being snubbed by Pep Guardiola, featuring six times in all since mid-November.

Toure issued an apology for comments made by Dimitri Seluk, his agent, and now the Ivory Coast international has set his sights on achieving "changes" at City.

"Before when I talked, in New Jersey, when I signed for City, I came to this club to make history," Toure, who joined City in 2010, told Sky Sports News.

"I want this club to change, I want this club to be bigger than United. I know it's going to be a lot of work, but that's my dream.

"I have been lucky to play at big clubs, Barcelona, Olympiakos, those teams were always used to being champions. But City, it was something different, something changing and I am happy now."

Toure is likely to be named in City's Champions League squad for the knockout stages due to the season-ending injury picked up by Ilkay Gundogan last week.
