Phelan fears for Man Utd today at Man City

Former Manchester United No2 Mike Phelan fears for his old club against Manchester City today. While many pundits are tipping United to cash in on City's mini-demise, former Manchester United coach Mike Phelan believes they are still a massive force.

He said: "In these big games, these derby games, your top players need to perform and need to show up, and I am sure they will be ready for it.

"City seem to be showing a little bit of inconsistency at the moment but that happens with teams sometimes.

"You take your eye off the game a little bit and it can upset you, but City are a top team, with top players.

"The loss of David Silva could be something they miss but I don't think he played in the game last season, and City went on to win 4-1.

"I actually thing there are goals in this game with the strike force of both teams. I think this could be an even 2-2."
