The 23-year-old has returned from an impressive season?s loan at Birmingham to scrap it out with Shay Given for the keeper?s jersey. Hart said that he would consider another temporary move if he ended up kicking his heels on the Blues bench this season. And Sunderland boss Steve Bruce confirmed on Wednesday that he had approached City with a view to taking him on loan. Bruce is on the lookout for a keeper, having lost Scotland international Craig Gordon for the start of the season after he broke his wrist in training. ?We?ve asked the question and we now just have to wait and see what City say,? Bruce said. M.E.N. Sport understands that the answer will be no, as boss Roberto Mancini sees Hart as having a key role to play. What do you think?
