Mancini: Manchester City were very close to signing Van Persie

The manager feels the striker has been the difference between his side and rivals United so far in the title race, and says he could have improved his team in the Champions League

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says that his side were "very close" to signing Manchester United striker Robin van Persie in the summer, and denied that he decided against a move because of money.

The story is too old to be commented.

I agree. RvP isn't a mercenary like most of the City players.
