The 350 Million Pound Derby

The Manchester Derby has suddenly become one of the most anticipated derbys; probably one of the main reason and most obvious reason for this is the fact that over 350 millions pounds worth of talent will be seen on the Old Trafford pitch tomorrow. The exciting array of players might have got people to expect a goal festival but this expectation would have been deflated quickly when Sir Alex came out and told the fans not to expect a goal fest.
Eventhough Sir Alex may said this, my personal feeling is that with Rooney, Aguero, Young, Dzeko and Silva on the same pitch, there will be some spectacular goals.

Apart from the expensive array of players, another reason for the sudden interest in the Manchester derby is probably the fact that all of the sudden its no longer a one sided game. For a long time Manchester City languished in United's shadow but now they are challenging their supremacy. This one game could finally show us how far Manchester City has come on the bank notes of their wealthy owner. Could this game be a test of their title credentials? I feel one game does not decide that but certainly this is one of the stand out fixtures in City's calender and it will be one that they would love to win.
