Man City boss Mancini slates negative Man Utd tactics

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini took aim at Sir Alex Ferguson's tactics after victory over Manchester United last night. The title is now City's to lose.

Boss Mancini said: "The key was that we wanted to win and they wanted a draw. This is the difference. We deserved to win but it was difficult as they had so many behind the ball.

"Every manager can choose his team and for them it was important to play for a draw.

"With a draw, they knew the championship was finished. It was an important result. Now we have it in our hands.

"But I'm not happy just for me, I'm happy for our fans.

"It is important we are top now but it is more important to be top on May 13."
