Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claims that the Citizens have now established themselves as a genuine threat in the Premier League and will be fighting for the trophy from now on.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s squad has grown into a dominant force in England after pumping outrageous amounts of cash into the team in the last few years. Following their takeover by the Abu Dhabi group in 2008, they have acquired numerous players and gained their
first silverware in more than two decades.
Encouraged by their performances, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 further added new troops to the line-up and it has finally seen them make the transition from struggling heavyweights to a strong yet disciplined unit.
This season their displays before the New Year were simply sensational, as they paved everyone out of the way and stormed to the top of the Premiership, routing Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford.
While their title challenge waned as the campaign wore on, they have again popped back up after the Red Devils’ blip in-form and are right on the tail of their rivals.
With quality in abundance and perhaps the best group of players in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson will be challenging for the title every term from now on.
"We have to get used to playing City in important games. They are not going away. The financial support they have means we will be playing them in a lot of big games: Cup finals maybe, semi-finals - we have already done that last season - and had an important
cup-tie this season,” he said.
"If United and City are going to be contesting for league titles regularly, and I think we will be doing, it will become just as important as the Liverpool game. Maybe not in terms of the emotional part because the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809-United games are emotional but
certainly in importance.”
Ferguson’s men face their bitter rivals on Monday at the Etihad Stadium and although the home side have momentum behind them, the Reds will be looking to claim three points and secure their 20th English title.
