Lescott accepts Man City days numbered

Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott was happy to be part of their FA Cup win over Chelsea.

Lescott, who is in the final year of his contract - and was linked with a January move - enjoyed the run out alongside Vincent Kompany but accepts his time at the club is coming to an end.

The 31-year-old, a £22million signing in 2009, told City TV: "It is always nice to play.

"They are not coming as frequently as I would like but when I called upon I like to think I can do a job.

"Vinny is a massive player, a massive part of the club. He has got a massive future ahead of him at the club.

"It has been great playing alongside him for the past five years and it is a shame it is going to come to an end this season."
