Man City BLANKED tribute dinner to Yaya Toure

Manchester City rejected a tribute dinner held for Yaya Toure by the Football Writers' Association last weekend.

City's decision is suggested as a sign that the Ivory Coast midfielder's long-running feud with Pep Guardiola has not ended, says the Daily Mail.

Toure has repeatedly apologised to Guardiola for claiming that the City manager had a problem working with African players five years ago, but has not received any response.

City booked tables when other players associated with the club such as Patrick Vieira and Vincent Kompany were honoured by the FWA in recent years, but no one from the club attended last Sunday's event at the Landmark hotel in London.
