Cote d’Ivoire star Yaya Toure has accused Pep Guardiola of having ‘problems with Africans’ following his exit from Manchester City.According to The Mirror, Toure, 35, made this known in an interview with France Football, to be published on Tuesday.

Toure struggled for regular starts under Guradiola over the last two years, making just 17 appearances in all competitions last season and admits he wondered if his lack of playing time was down to his ‘colour’.
