Comments made in January by Garry Cook, the Manchester City chief executive, that it was “not if, but when, we beat United again” proved embarrassingly premature with City going out of the Carling Cup in a semi-final at Old Trafford just five days later.
And Cook’s claim, made at the same time as his second-leg prediction, that “this football club will be, without doubt, the biggest and best in the world” has not been forgotten at Manchester United.
th the funds of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan bankrolling City’s huge investment in players, the gap between Manchester’s century-old rivals has narrowed to its closest point since the clubs contested the title race in the Sixties.
Dismiss? You cant dismiss something that never was. City had and will not have any chances against United. I believe more in Liverpool.
Good to see Evra concentrating on the real goal. City and their fans are too obsessed with beating us
