Agent Dimitri Seluk sensationally claims Yaya Toure ‘doesnt mean’ his apology to Pep Guardiola as Manchester City feud rumbles on
The Ivory Coast midfielder has been frozen out the Manchester City side this season and his agent's latest comments won't do his playing chances any good
YAYA TOURE's agent Dimitri Seluk has sensationally came out yet again and stated he will not say sorry to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
The Ivorian star has been frozen out of the City side this season, and even issued an apology to his side to boost his chances of playing, but Seluk has claimed his client didn't mean it.
Toure has only featured once this campaign, in the 1-0 Champions League qualifier win against Steaua București back in August.

In a recent statement, he said: " 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.
"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.
But amazingly, Seluk who was speaking to talkSPORT earlier this morning, claimed the 33-year-old was essentially lying in his apology, and reiterated his desire to not say sorry to the Citizens boss.
He bizarrely told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: "I’m not apologising. We want peace, but I'm not apologising. Apologise for what?
"Maybe Toure has apologised for this, but I don't know for what. I think Yaya doesn’t mean this. He wants peace between him Guardiola.
"A lot of supporters want to see Yaya on the field and Yaya wants to help Manchester City get good results.
"We want to make peace between Guardiola, Yaya and me for the supporters, the team and for the results.
"A player like Yaya, one of the top players in the world, with a big salary, normally doesn't stay out of the team. He must play."
Why the agent felt the need to again go out his way and criticize the Spanish boss is a mystery, with his latest comments dampening the chances of the Ivory Coast international featuring again.
Guardiola has previously insisted that Toure will not be considered for first team action unless Seluk apologises to him.
Manchester City sit top of the Premier League on goal difference, and with their new manager taking charge in the summer, have adopted a new style.
Even if Guardiola receives an apology of Seluk, Yaya Toure will be lucky to be included in any starting eleven, with players better suited to the City side.
