Man City's Yaya Toure OK for Man Utd clash after escaping ban

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has the all clear to face Manchester United on Monday.

Toure will be free to play in Monday's showdown after escaping an FA rap. A photo emerged of the midfielder appearing to flick a V-sign at Wolves fans during Sunday's victory.

But Wembley chiefs have studied footage of the incident and believe he was merely issuing instructions to team-mates.

Toure said: "It will be an unbelievable match and I'm very excited.

"We are at home but if you look at the record of United, they are very strong away and it will be very difficult."
