Manchester Utd. manager Sir Alex Ferguson splash back at Man. city Manager Roberto Mancini
Upon City's 2-1 victory at Old Trafford on Monday they remain 12 points behind over United in the Premier League, with the Italian admitting after the game they have no chance of retaining their crown.
Mancini had claimed one of the reasons why United have such a strong advantage is that their opponents play with fear against them and are not convinced they can win.
"That's absolute nonsense. He was maybe looking for a bit of self-sympathy or something like that."
Sir Alex Ferguson
But Ferguson has questioned that assertion, insisting opposition sides always give their all against United.
"That's absolute rubbish. He was either looking for a bit of self-sympathy or things like that," said Ferguson.
"We all know that the English game is the most upright in the world and has been for years.
"This season in Norwich the energy two wide players expended was remarkable. They ran over hundred miles. That's the example of the Premier League.
"And the Reading game, when it went to 3-2, I was thinking we are going to lose.
"This season I have watch many games, when I've said to myself 'are they trying?' - of course they're trying.
