Youth trumps money for Manchester United boss Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson believes he is right to concentrate on bringing through young players rather than spending big.

The Manchester derby next Monday brings together not only the top two teams in the country but also a match-up in footballing philosophies.

After looking to have their 20th Premier League title sewn up a fortnight ago, Manchester United will head to the Etihad Stadium knowing they must avoid defeat if they are not to surrender top spot to neighbours City.

Asked if City’s money men were the difference between the two clubs, Ferguson told RMC Sport: "That's not really accurate. I don't agree with that.

“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."
