The agent of Yaya Toure has declared he is staying with Manchester City.

Dmitri Seluk says he is being given the respect he deserves after being told by Sheikh Mansour that he wanted him to stay.

Seluk told the Sunday Mirror: "Yaya is staying - because Sheikh Mansour told him he must stay.

"Mansour told Yaya that he is still a very important player and that he was the first big player to join City after the takeover.

"He told him that City wouldn't even discuss a sale.

"This is good. People have tried to say that Yaya only wanted more money, but it was never about money. It was only about respect."
