Sheikh Mansour declares City season successful

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour has declared the club’s season a success even if they come up short in their efforts to catch rivals Manchester United and win the Barclays Premier League title.

City trail United by three points going into next Monday’s derby at the Etihad Stadium, but have a superior goal difference and know that by winning their three remaining matches they would almost certainly claim a first league crown since 1968.
