Former Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure has claimed that the club ignored his advice to sign Sadio Mane while he was still at Southampton.The Senegalese forward won the Champions League and Premier League titles before departing for Bayern Munich last season.
Toure, speaking on BBC Match of the Day Africa: Top 10, said: “I always wanted to play with him [Mane]. “When I was at City, at the time when he was at Southampton, I highly regarded him and I was asking some of my superiors to just sign him.
