Manchester City legend Yaya Toure says his old club can become the biggest in the world.

City go into the new season as Treble winners.

Tour told the Daily Mail: "This is what I predicted. When I made my debut, I said I came to this club because one day this club is going to be great and be on top of United.

"At that moment, it was quite early and people were thinking, 'why is he saying that?' Most of the great players, like Sergio Aguero and David Silva weren't involved yet.

"So seeing Man City do that was incredible, to see them lift this trophy. Soon City will be really well respected in world football.

"It was going to take time but I knew it would happen because the owner [Sheikh Mansour] was trying to create something big and huge there. People were a bit impatient but we knew this would happen sooner or later."
