Yaya Toure has issued an apology to Manchester City for the public war of words he and his agent have engaged in with manager Pep Guardiola over recent weeks.

The midfielder has been frozen out of action at the Etihad Stadium by the Catalan boss as a result, but released a statement on Friday in a bid to help melt the ice.

"I wish to apologise - on behalf of myself and those who represent me - to the management team and all those working at the club for the misunderstandings from the past," Toure said.

"Those statements do not represent my views on the club or the people who work there.

"I have nothing but respect for Manchester City and only wish the best for the football club.

why is the dude not playing.

Guy u fast die @poster..... 9ice one, Hope the team would accept his apology. would love to see him play...

Later, pple will say mourinho is wicked.. But guardiola is worse.. Im sure the apology wont move him a bit. Yaya toure needs to get a new club. Or has he forgotten how guardiola chased him from Barca becos of that ghost player called busquets.. Now hes at man city, still keeping toure frozen at the club...

At least mourinho chased Mata from Chelsea. When he got to ManU, he plays him now..
