Did Manchester United lose the Premier League title or did City win it? The grimace on Sir Alex Ferguson’s face as he frantically ushered his players down the tunnel at the Stadium of Light evidently pointed to the latter. After all the Red Devil’s were mere seconds away from adding a 20th top-flight championship to their trophy cabinet until Sergio Aguero struck in what is now being billed as ‘Aguero Time’. Ferguson’s knew close United were to triumphing once again over their noisy neighbours and retaining their dominance over the English game. He watched his players toil to chip away at the advantage Roberto Mancini’s had built up only for their efforts to prove futile at the season’s climax. Second best isn’t an established term in his vocabulary. Undoubtedly he will use the summer to hold an inquest into United’s failure to prevail over City and ensure they come out on top next season and curb the escalating power shift.
This week on FFC is City’s title triumph down to the fact United are currently in a state of flux and which three stars Bundesliga stars does Ferguson have his eye on?

“City played their best football and we didn’t always play our best football, but we still finished on the same points. So it makes you think that if we play our best football consistently throughout the season, then we are going to win the league by many points.
