Surely Wes Brown can't have been any worse for United at the weekend than he was for England during the week?!!
And I might be wrong, but surely City have some internationals in their squad?!
They did, Micah Richards says as such:
I have heard that United have blamed the defeat on player fatigue but I do not think that is a valid excuse.
I may not have played for England last week but I had to go through the same as their players and train twice a day.
It wasn't just United's players who did it, we all did.
Plus England were at home. Many other players at City were away playing abroad so they had flights to contend with too.
