Mancini lauds Man Utd: "they are still the best"

Despite Man City's sensational 6-1 win over Man Utd last night, Roberto Mancini still believes United are the best team in the Premier League.

Jonny Evans' sending off in the 46th minute seemed to be the start of all problems for Manchester United, who were unable to fight back after falling behind to Mario Balotelli early on.

Mancini said: "I still have big respect for United and for their squad. There are still four or five teams who can win the title and the season is long.

"United are still one yard above us and we can only change this if we win the title. After that it might be different but until then United are better than us."
