Club secretary Andrew Neville said on the official site:

"The fixture has come about because of Roberto Mancini's connection with us, and we are delighted to be hosting a club of such quality for our final friendly.

"It's perfect for us, because with the Football League season starting on the 11, it was difficult to find a fixture for that weekend."

Peter Taylor said:

This is a fabulous way to open our season at Filbert Street against one of Europe's top clubs."

"Roberto always wanted to come back to say thank-you to the fans and I can think of no better way for him to do so."
