Nigel De Jong: We're top dogs
NIGEL DE JONG fired a warning shot across Manchester United’s bows ahead of Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford, saying the balance of power is about to shift.
Manchester City are top of the Premier League, two points ahead of their neighbours. City midfielder De Jong said: “We’re going as No1, the aim is to stay No1.”
But United’s Nani, who has scored three goals in his last three derbies, said: “These are the games that always get the team motivated. Every year the games against City seem to get more important.”
