Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney says losing the title on the last day of the season was a sickener.
Rooney also admitted that losing the title in the dying seconds was the worst possible outcome.
"You wish it hadn't happened like that for our fans," he said. "As players, it was sickening to lose the title like that.
"Everyone's been saying how well City have played and how they've dominated the Premier League.
"But if that's them dominating, they've done it on goal difference. We can hold our heads up high because we pushed City all the way.
"We will be back, there's no worries about that - we will be back stronger and better than ever."
