Yaya on rejuvenated Paul Pogba

"To be honest I think Paul now has more belief in his manager. His manager has put him in the situation like he is the boss. He's the type of player who wants to have this connection with his manager, being trusted by him, telling him to push, feeling the love."

'Man Utd freed from fear'

"For three or four years, watching Mourinho's sides, in the big games, Manchester United were terrified going into them thinking they couldn't compete with these other top teams... The brilliant thing I loved from Manchester United at Wembley was that their fear had gone."

Yaya on Barca stint

"I don't know how to describe it. I'm looking at the players and it was something amazing. I really enjoyed my time there. What a privilege to be in this team. If someone had told me - Xavi, Iniesta, Dani Alves… it was impressive. This football club for me was always one of the best in the world.

"I'd won six trophies in a row with Barcelona. Sergio Busquets was coming up and playing very well and it was the right time to move. City came with their project and it was about to trying to help them win something."

Yaya on winning trophies at City

"For me it was normal, coming from Barcelona but it gave the other players belief. We had the squad and the football club had the money to buy who they wanted but the problem was how to attract the big players to what was at that time, if I can say, a normal club.

"That was my challenge - to come and also to bring good players with me. Aguero, Silva, Balotelli, Boateng were waiting before my signing - they weren't sure."
