Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has paid tribute to his Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson.
Mancini s expecting a Premier League battle with his illustrious neighbours, but insists he still has respect for the legendary Scot.
"We are happy living with it," he told Corriere dello Sport about the Manchester rivalry.
"United have been there (at the top) for 20 years, we have arrived now.
"There is esteem between me and Sir Alex Ferguson. He really has won everything."
