We deserved derby win insists Manchester United boss Ferguson - 10/12/12
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that it was only a matter of time before a derby of tonight’s magnitude came to pass.
Ferguson has said that he knew once the Abu Dhabi takeover of City was completed they would one day be battling it out with his club for the top honours.
He said: “I made my mind up about that as soon as the money started coming in to the City.
“You say to yourself that there is no question they are going to buy the best and most experienced players they can, and that’s what they have gone and done.
“They have a bunch of very experienced players who have done it with other clubs and therefore we have to get used to this.
“I said that to our fans in a match programme column recently. We are going to be playing each other in a lot of big games. League games, cup finals, deciders and whatever.”
