Given vows to win back Man City place

SHAY GIVEN is determined to prove Roberto Mancini wrong and force his way back into Manchester City’s starting XI.

The Republic of Ireland keeper is yet to play for his club this season, having lost his place to England’s Joe Hart, and a loan move to potential suitors such as Celtic and Fulham failed to materialise.

“For me, now the window has closed, that’s gone,” Given said. “I have got to put my head down and work hard and try to get back in the team. I don’t feel I have done a lot wrong since I have been at the club, so I suppose it’s about proving the manager wrong and trying to work hard to get back in the team and if I get a chance, taking that and seeing how it goes.
