Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has risked controversy again, after claiming the Red Devils are the first club in Manchester.
Speaking to the French press ahead of last night’s International friendly between France and Italy, the left back claimed, “There is not really a rivalry between the two clubs, as United have always been superior to City.
“We have always been Manchester’s first club.”
Even dismissing City’s title win last season, he added, “The fact that they won the title last season changes nothing.”
United currently lead the league, two points clear of City in second, and the two will meet at the Etihad Stadium on December 9th, in what will be one of the most explosive fixtures of the season.
