No.

We are City from Maine Road, not we is City.


We is plural. Hence, we are City. There's still one City.

City, Super City.
Not from Maine Road anymore.
The only football team that comes from Manchester.
The best team in the land in all the world.
The longest-lasting affection (bar three older members of the family) of my life.

I really dislike "We Are The Champions" but it sounded rather lovely there.

I've never watched the United highlights past Phil Jones "face" before...that was very enjoyable. Red spastics

City 'are' a team of players more than 1 man, plural. Eg Roger Federer 'is' and Manchester city 'are'. Use 'is' and you will sound like Mancini's broken English.

City is a team of players. Roger Federer 'is' just as Manchester City 'is.' Manchester City is a club that has is comprised of staff, players and supporters. However, there is only one Manchester City Football Club. Singular. Not plural.

It's a collective noun which can be either plural or singular depending on the context used. In this case it is definitely "are."
