Man City have bought it, admittedly because Utd ****ed it up badly themselves, but if they hadn't spent all the money City have spent they wouldn't even be top 4, so for that reason I hope Utd win it.
Man Utd's first XI and Man City's first XI both cost roughly the same amount. Accepted figures seem to be Man Utd £160m and Man City £169m.
Man Utd are very similar to Man City in the way that they 'bought' their way into the elite of English football. What they did in '89 is very similar to what Man City are doing now - and since then they have continued to spend large amounts.
