Fergie will keep United calm for City cup derby, reckons Rio

ALEX FERGUSON won’t need to gee up his troops ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup meeting with Manchester City. Instead the key to victory will be to keep them calm, according to Rio Ferdinand.

Manchester derbies have always been hyped up, even more so since the massive influx of cash by Sheikh Mansour threatened to gatecrash City into England’s elite.

Yet nothing will compare to this weekend, when the red and blue halves of a divided city descend on Wembley with an FA Cup final place at stake.
