Man City players take to black magic to spook Man Utd's title hopes!

Manchester City players Mario Balotelli and Samir Nasri along with other team mates resorted to witchcraft and black magic against Manchester United in a bid to stop them from winning the Premier League title.

Balotelli and Nasri hung out with eight witch doctors during a special themed night at a city bar, where almost the whole team piled around a table covered with spooky tarot cards and voodoo dolls.

"The witch doctors spoke directly to the City boys and I think they were showing them how to cast spells. I saw them joking about with the cards, maybe they were casting magic for the game," The Sun quoted a witness, as saying.

City is expected to clinch the club's first title in 44 years if they manage to gain victory against Queens Park Rangers in tomorrow's match. u00a0
