Robinho looking forward to Manchester derby

City’s £32.5million signing also wants to inflict more pain on Cristiano Ronaldo, following Brazil’s 6-2 win over Portugal.

Robinho told the Sun: “We are all looking forward to the match with United.

“We have good chances to win, although they are very strong.

“But we play at home. We have to think that, in our stadium, we are always favourites.

“And it would be great to repeat the victory I had with Brazil against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.

“I really hope Elano and I can have the same success in the derby that we enjoyed for our national team.”
