Yaya Toure is expecting a 'very, very tough' Premier League next season, but hopes the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson will help Manchester City to finish on top.
City captain Vincent Kompany is also expecting a tough test next season and has rejected the notion that the standard of the Premier League has slipped. Kompany said: "You look at next season and it will be a good summer for the media in the sense that a lot of clubs have to become better and a lot of clubs are hoping for a better season. "I have said that anyone who thinks the Premier League is going backwards is making a huge mistake. Next season will be harder than ever. "Sir Alex has done great things for football and for Manchester United. Fair play to them but we are writing our own history. We can do that on Saturday again."
