Yaya Toure has named Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic as his toughest opponent in the Premier League.
The 34-year-old is set to bring an end to his career at Manchester City at the end of the season, having played a part in three different title-winning seasons.
It was revealed last month that the former Barcelona midfielder wants to continue playing in England, meaning he could once again lock horns with Matic who has impressed at the heart of United’s midfield after his move from Chelsea last transfer summer.

‘Tall and strong as well. It’s been fun to play against him, even though it’s difficult. He’s powerful, he’s tall.
‘To be able to find an opponent to play against me and stop me… there’s few of them, but Matic was one of the close ones who was able to give me problems.
