Definitely Maybe United Still Have Edge Over City, Says Noel Gallagher













Roberto Mancini may believe Manchester City are primed for a title challenge after their recent spending spree, but at least one high-profile fan fears they will remain in the shadow of their neighbours at Old Trafford.

Samir Nasri's arrival, hot on the heels of Sergio Aguero, has given City a squad to compete with the best, but Noel Gallagher can see Sir Alex Ferguson's influence at Manchester United once more proving decisive.

Speaking to Manchester's Key 103 radio, the Oasis guitarist said: 'I gotta say, United look strong and the one thing United will always have over us is Ferguson can manage that team across the season and he'll always manage to get the best out of those players.

'I think we've probably got better players than they have, but I think Ferguson will always be able to galvanise that team, no matter what.'

Gallagher singled out unsettled Carlos Tevez, rather than Aguero, as City's best hope of a title breakthrough.

'I'm not sure about Aguero,' he said. 'He might need a few games. He looked like a fish out of water.

'Tevez is going nowhere. He's been for sale since last January. Nobody's suddenly going to find 'oh hang on a minute where's that 50 mil, oh I've just found it in a safe, shall we buy Teves'. No he's not going anywhere.

'I don't want him to go, either, cos he'll do it on the pitch. As much as he says he misses his kids and blah blah blag and Manchester and the weather and all that nonsense, he is incapable of not giving 100% and if he does it on the pitch, I'm not bothered if he thinks his back garden's rubbish.

'I'm not bothered, it doesn't bother me if he misses his kids. If he's doing it on the pitch then he's still one of the greatest players we've got.'
