Manchester City’s midfielder and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706 has gone on to admit that Manchester United deserved to win the Premier League this season, given the way the team had been performing.
United went on to beat Aston Villa on Monday night, and with them coming out on top with a three goals to nil win, the Red Devils went on to get named as the winners of the league for a twentieth time.
Last season, United went on to lose the league on the last day of the season against City, and this time around the Red Devils went on to prove their worth by securing the league with an impressive four games to go.
City could have still been in the race, but with them losing to Tottenham over the weekend, they gave up all chances of them winning the league.
However, City can still go on and end the season with one trophy, since they are set to take on Wigan in the final of the FA Cup. Milner is confident that his team can go on and win the FA Cup, but still admitted that losing the league to United hurt him
quite a bit.
"It hurts," Milner said.
"Well done to Manchester United, they're obviously a strong team and the league doesn't lie, so they deserve the league.”
"We're massively disappointed, but it fuels the fire for next season and we're desperate to go again next season to try and win it back. Hopefully we can finish this season with silverware.”
"We've seen how hard it is to retain the title and how much they [United] used that disappointment from last season to drive them on this year.”
"They've been very good in the league, very solid and seem to grind out results every week. They've deserved it and we have to look at where we've gone wrong and try to put that right."
With City failing to defend their league title this season, they are going to have to come back next season with everything to prove. They are going to have to go all out in their game and will have to end up proving a point to United, or their rise to the
top could be well over by now.
