How 2013 will climax is still unknown, although should City overhaul United, Roberto Mancini will become the seventh manager since the war to retain the championship.

Since the others include Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, Bob Paisley, Stan Cullis and Sir Matt Busby, he would be in some fairly rarefied company.

Roberto Mancini: "I am happy with the players I have got.

"I didn't want Adam Johnson to leave,.

"But he told me he wanted to play all the time and, for this reason, I had to let him go.

"Adam was an important player for me but I understood his situation – he was young and he wanted to play."
