Manchester – Many are assessing if two successive defeats Manchester City will “disturb” their mental and certainly benefits Manchester United. But the captain of the ‘Red Devils’, Rio Ferdinand, did not agree with this.
City are currently still at the top of English Premier League standings with 48 points from 20 matches. But The Citizens recently suffered two successive defeats of Manchester United in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the Carling Cup semi-final first leg.
It is considered by many parties will lose their mental post good results obtained before the turn of the year. Moreover, Roberto Mancini was an injury plagued by storms and abandoned its core players Yaya Toure to the African Cup.
If this condition is certainly MU is ranked second will be benefited. At the end of this week will come to the BJB City Stadium to face Wigan and The Red Devils only against Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford.
Ferdinand assess if MU would not benefit from the performance up and down the City right now. According to City will also be benefited if his team was performing poorly. It occurs naturally in the competition as restrictive as the Premier League.
Even Tottenham Hotspur was still regarded as one of the competitors who at times can be difficult for Manchester United and City.
“You will always know if there is such thing as up and down in one season,” Ferdinand said on ESPN Star.
“We had a bad week before, losing in two straight games, but there is no better match than against Manchester City,” he continued.
“But I do not think we benefit from today as a result. It is too early to say it. We all fought in the same area and fight for the same thing,” he said.
“You all have a moment above and below, hopefully Manchester City and Tottenham are not experienced enough to last long on top, we can get some of our players who are injured and crept up,” he concluded.
