Manchester City veteran Yaya Toure says he's drawing inspiration from Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Toure, who joined from Barcelona for £24million in the summer of 2010, is out of contract at the end of the season.

He said: “In the past when you get to 33 you think you are done. Now, with the science, players can go on much longer.

“You see Zlatan Ibrahimovic or some of the other guys like Ryan Giggs. These guys are a big example and we all try to do the same. But it is hard. Of course, there are lads like Sane and Sterling who are younger and who look at you and say you are the Uncle.

'Sometimes when I pass to them, they say, 'Ah, Uncle is on the phone'. And that's good.

“I believe I have another five years. Five years. I will try and give it my best chance."
