"In Milan there are two big teams there fighting for supremacy and silverware and here it is the same. I like the challenge of that," he added.
"I know how fans feel about such matches and I thank those City fans who came to greet me at the hotel. I know their passion and I know that it helps the team."And Mancini also stated that he was very pleased to have former United number two Brian Kidd as his assistant at Eastlands.
"I know Brian, he is a boss in English football," he said.
"I know his record as a top player for City, Everton and United. He was a striker, I was a striker; we share the same football philosophy.
"He has also has great coaching experience. I am sure we will gel very well."
