YAYA TOURE will never forget how much he loved putting Manchester United in their place.
So much, in fact, that he even has mementos on the walls of his home to remind him of how he helped Manchester City dethrone their neighbours as the kings of English football.
Toure was the driving force behind the shift in power from red to blue in Manchester, after joining them from Barcelona in 2010 for £24m.
In his debut season, Toure scored the winning goal to help City beat United in the FA Cup semi-final, and went on to do the same in the final against Stoke as Roberto Mancini’s men lifted the club’s first trophy in 35 years (below).
The bitter rivals and neighbours will clash at Wembley again on Saturday in the first-ever all Manchester FA Cup final.
