Mancini: Given won’t go on cheap

MANCHESTER CITY boss Roberto Mancini has warned any potential suitors they will not get Shay Given on the cheap.

Given is set to make his first appearance of the season in tonight’s Carling Cup tie at West Brom, just three days after Mancini confirmed he could leave City in January.

The Republic of Ireland star has lost out to Joe Hart in the battle to be City’s number one keeper this season and, although he remained at Eastlands during the last days of the transfer window, is likely to seek pastures new when it re-opens again in the New Year.
