Ferguson laughs off challenge from 'small club' City Manchester City are a "small club with a small mentality", according to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The Red Devils boss was reacting to the appearance of a city-centre billboard which read: "Carlos Tevez, welcome to Manchester", shortly after the Argentine had signed for the Eastlands side having left Old Trafford. "It's City isn't it? They're a small club with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United; they can't get away from it," Ferguson commented. "They think taking Carlos Tevez away from Manchester United is a triumph. It is poor stuff." Speaking while United tour China, Ferguson claimed another recent City signing, Emmanuel Adebayor, had tried to engineer a move to Old Trafford rather than the City of Manchester stadium. "When someone offers you that kind of money, it is a big attraction," said Ferguson. "That is the reason they have gone there. "At the last minute, from what I can gather, either Emmanuel Adebayor or his agent phoned us after they had agreed a deal with City and then did the same with Chelsea. He was desperate to get to either Chelsea or us."  27 July 2009, 09:42 For top sports discussion and questions and answers visit the Sports Answerbank |
