The managers
Roberto Mancini: It's been a tough season dealing with personalities such as Tevez and Balotelli, and with murmurings about his future. He's remained fairly unflustered and is still sticking to his "no hope" stance over winning the title.
Sir Alex Ferguson: The trophy cabinet at Old Trafford pretty much sums up Ferguson as a manager. It's not often his sides come up second best and he's better versed of the pressures of a tight run-in than any other Premier League manager.
