New Blue Vieira sets sights on Eastlands title bid

PATRICK VIEIRA checked in for Premier League duty once more yesterday and immediately set his sights on taking Manchester City to the number one slot.

Vieira is set to earn an estimated £10 million (€11.1m) if he spends the next 18 months with City, after quitting Inter Milan to rejoin old boss Roberto Mancini.

He also made no secret of the fact having a chance to force his way into Raymond Domenech’s French World Cup squad next summer was a major factor in his decision.
