Man Utd boss Ferguson: Man City drew Champions League group of DEATH

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson rates Manchester City's Champions League group the "group of death".

Ferguson, whose own side were handed a favourable draw by comparison, said Napoli posed a major threat to City's chances of progressing to the knockout stage.

"It's a tough group that - the group of death," said Ferguson, speaking to Italian media in Rome this week.

"Napoli are in the toughest group. It's a very difficult group.

"If Napoli survive that, they'll have a right chance. It's not impossible.

"The atmosphere in Napoli is very volatile. With 75,000 to 80,000 [in the stadium], it's a great atmosphere."
