I've been very critical of him, but fair play to Dmitri Seluk, Yaya's agent, and Yaya himself:
Manchester City star makes huge donation after Manchester bombing
In the wake of the horrific incident in Manchester Arena last night which left 22 dead and countless injured, a number of high profile football stars have come out in support of the victims and their families, posting heartfelt messages online.
Good will
One Manchester City star, however, has taken his efforts a step further this afternoon, with news that Blues legend Yaya Toure will make a donation of £100,000 in aid of any victims.
Twitter
Toure expressed his condolences on social media early this morning with the following post:

Such terrible news in Manchester. Thoughts and prayers with all those affected

Donation
In an interview with
Sky Sports this evening, the big Ivorian’s agent Dimitri Seluk confirmed how both he and the Citizens’ star had been deeply affected by last night’s proceedings, and were keen to take their efforts a step further.
Thus, a split donation will be forthcoming from the pair:
‘Yaya and I want to help. We talked this morning about what happened and he asked me what he thought we could do.’
‘We have agreed to donate £50,000 each to help the victims of this terrible crime. It doesn’t matter whether the victims are from Manchester or not.’
‘Those of us lucky enough to work every day in football can do so because of the generosity of fans across the world.’
‘Yaya is from Cote D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), I am Russian. It doesn’t matter. Today is a chance for those of us in football to help out.’
‘My son is eight years old and I can’t image the pain and the suffering that the parents of Saffie will be going through today.’
