Rivals on run from Mancini

Owen Coyle believes Manchester City have got the other Premier League big guns running scared.

Roberto Mancini unveiled £25million signing Samir Nasri on Friday, adding to City’s already powerful forward line.

Sergio Aguero also joined City in the summer and along with Edin Dzeko, Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez – now looking like he is staying – will make the Blues’ rivals look over their shoulders nervously, according to Coyle.

Mancini’s men finished third last season and have made a great start to this campaign, winning both their opening games.

Now, Coyle (left) reckons the sides at the top of the table have got the jitters after City’s opening wins – and their latest spending surge.

Coyle, whose Bolton battlers were beaten by classy City last Sunday, said: “There is definitely envy. And you can ­understand it from ­supporters of other clubs.

“But the top sides, who have had it all their own way for a long time, are starting to get a bit edgy.

“City have always been a big club but are now backed by serious wealth.

“All of a sudden they are really moving through the gears.”
