After spending most of the summer dismissing Manchester City’s chances of breaking into the top four, it looks like Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has changed his mind.

Sir Alex now believes it is ‘foolish’ to ignore City’s threat to the top four. Manchester City have spent an awful lot of money this summer and people are now waiting to see if they can have a successful season or if they fall flat on their faces (which Mark Hughes nearly did on Saturday when he so nearly fell over).

"It would be foolish to ignore developments at Eastlands," Sir Alex Ferguson said. "Manchester City do pose a new threat. We have only to look at how well Chelsea did with back-to-back championships after a massive injection of Russian cash to know money can talk."
He added: "All the leading clubs are looking with interest to see how Mark Hughes handles the situation and whether he can make it work.
"We are all looking over our shoulders, though as far as Manchester United are concerned, it is not in fear."

Nobody knows what is going to happen, I don’t think they will break into the top four unless either Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool or Arsenal have a terrible season. I firmly believe that you could buy the best XI players (in each position) and you could still not win anything.
The great thing about football is that it is a team game, you can have all the best players but they might not play as a team.

Will City play as a team? We will have to wait and find out.
