Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has praised city rivals Manchester City ahead of their Carling Cup semi final. Ferguson admitted that the Citizens are a much more difficult opposition now.
"You have to recognise they are a competitor now," said Ferguson.
"We have had to wait a long time for it to be like that but they are obviously making a much better fist of their league programme this year than they have done in the past.
"You could not compare it to Rangers and Celtic but having rivals in the same city does create far more emotion."
