The Manchester United boss claims that the upcoming derby will not be a contest between their history and the new found riches of their neighbours.
After being humbled by a staunch http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 side at Old Trafford, Sir Alex Ferguson’s troops face the sternest test of their title credentials with a visit to the Etihad Stadium on the 30th of April.
Historically, United have always been on top of the Blues and have been able to crush them without much hassle over the years. However with the backing of their ultra-rich Middle Eastern owners, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 has morphed his squad into genuine challengers
for the Premier League.
And for the majority of the season, it looked that way, as the Citizens prevailed and strengthened their place at the top of the standings. However they stumbled at the very end and now find themselves three points adrift going into the crunch tie.
However momentum is on their side, as the Red Devils have suffered some major setbacks lately, including a 1-0 loss against Wigan.
No doubt that the Manchester derby will determine the outcome of the Premier League, but given how things are going currently City have the upper hand not only because of recent results, but also because of their expensively assembled team.
With the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, who claims that his mentality is to develop youngsters from the Academy.
"That's not really accurate. I don't agree with that,” he said.
"It's true City became rich in a pretty incredible way, but it's not the fact there is a new owner and new ambitions which necessarily change things.”
"The difference is perhaps that we're trying to build with youth,” the veteran tactician was quoted as saying.
The most awaited match of the season promises to be a spectacle like never witnessed before. All ready pumped with bragging rights, passion and now the English Premier League title, 30th April cannot come fast enough for both halves of Manchester.
