Agent Dmitri Seluk says he can handle being dropped by former client Yaya Toure.

The Manchester City hero has declared his long time agent Seluk is no longer his representative.

Seluk told Metaratings: “With these expressions, Yaya puts himself below the plinth. Although he used to say in all interviews that I was not his agent, but his dad.

"I have led him all my life. And now life has been successful, money has been earned, houses have been bought, an English passport has been received - everything has become tip-top.

"He began to say this because he was afraid that Pep (Guardiola) and I went against each other, and he wants to drop in as a coach there. Since I'm so tough, everyone will be afraid to take him.

"I will never betray a person with whom I am friends."
