Roberto Mancini plays down Man United's title chances after they leapfrog City at the top of the Premier League.

Roberto Mancini has played down Manchester United's title chances after they leapfrogged Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table yesterday.

United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 while City fell 1-0 to 11th-placed Swansea City.

"It's not important what United did," Mancini said. "We will fight against them until the end. We have 10 games to finish the championship and every week it can change.

"It's important we remain together. It's better to be at the top but it doesn't change anything.

"This championship is very long and there is time to go. We won't change our target."

City go on to face Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League on Thursday.
