Man City's start fails to surprise Ferguson

Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson is not surprised that Man City have started the season so well, with their city rivals scoring six wins in their first seven games.

Ferguson has revealed that he expected City to be challenging United for top honours early on in the season.

"I've said all along that would happen," Ferguson told Inside United.

"They are a good team and they were always going to be there or thereabouts.

"Sergio Aguero was bound to do well, coming into the Premier League, because he is such a goal threat around the penalty box. David Silva is also a very good player.

"We just have to make sure we are ready for City when we meet them."
