THERE'S ONLY ONE TEAM IN MANCHESTER

Last updated : 25 September 2002 By Editor

"What I feel is that there is only one club in Manchester and that is Manchester City. In our town, people only talk about our club. In the streets people wear the City shirt not United’s, Manchester City is Manchester’s club. This is a legendary club which managed to keep its values and whose supporters are the best in England."

Benarbia added: "There will be 48,000 fans in the new stadium from next season and, by asking Kevin Keegan to direct the team, the club has passed on a very clear message to get back on United's trail. We are a team of the future but we do not know each other well enough yet to fix a more ambitious objective than the top 10."

"Keegan is someone who had a great aura as a player but I would say it is even bigger now. He is very ambitious, he wants to win but he also wants us to win playing beautiful football. For the supporters and for the club."

Sounds more like an Ali G wind up than Ali B - anyone remember Keith Curle’s ‘watch out United’ just before they were relegated
