Sir Alex Ferguson turned up the temperature in trademark fashion ahead of Sunday's derby with a ruthless dismissal of Manchester City's new wealth and power.
Asked if he was concerned by City's threat, Manchester United's old prize-fighter made no attempt to disguise his incredulity at the very idea of the empire being challenged from Eastlands.
"Where are they at the moment? Excuse me. At this moment in time it is Chelsea and Liverpool who are sitting above us."
It will have raised hackles at Manchester City - especially after doing the double over United last season - but the brutal truth is that he is right.
