# Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given casts doubts over Eastlands future
## Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has admitted the chances of him
playing at Eastlands next season are slim following a frustrating lack of
first-team opportunities.

[Comments][2]
England No 1 Joe Hart is Roberto Mancini's first choice between the sticks,
with Given spending much of this campaign warming the bench.
And despite the prospect of playing Champions League football next season,
Given realises that he will once again have to play second fiddle to Hart for
the big games.
Given, though, is not short of admirers, with Arsenal, QPR and Tottenham all
linked with a move for the 35 year-old during the summer transfer window.
Staying at cash-rich **[City][3]** would seemingly guarantee silverware as
Given enters the autumn of his career, but the Republic of Ireland
international fears acting as Hart's back-up for club will affect his chances
with country.
He said: "I'd like to be playing and I don't know what will happen in the
summer.

"I don't know if being part of the Champions League will persuade me to stay -
there are a lot of questions I don't really have the answer to.
"I know there are a lot worse clubs you could be at than Manchester City, but
I don't feel match-sharp when I go to Ireland because I haven't played.
"It's frustrating, but the manager made his decision at the start of the
season and that's his decision."
