Mike Phelan: Manchester United still haunted by Manchester City victory

Manchester United assistant boss Mike Phelan says that the club have relived their "disappointing" title loss to Manchester City on a number of occasions.

Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan has revealed that the "disappointing" Premier League title loss to Manchester City is still fresh in all of their minds.

The Red Devils had their 20th league trophy in their clutches until a last-minute Sergio Aguero strike swept the elusive title to the Etihad Stadium as opposed to Old Trafford on the final day of the season.

"You have moments when you reflect," said Phelan. "I wouldn't say you sit down and analyse and analyse and keep churning it over but there are moments when someone will say something or something else takes you back.

"Then you start to give it a bit of your time. It was dramatic, as dramatic as it has ever been, and very disappointing at the same time."

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson recently claimed that his side's main priority is to win back the title.
