Man City boss Eriksson: We’re better than Man Utd

City’s England star Micah Richards said: “Before the United game last month Sven said to us: ‘Don’t worry, you are better than them.’

“We all looked at each other wondering what he was talking about but we came in as 1-0 winners.

“Sven gives you that belief. He makes you believe you are the best, that you can go out and play football with no fear.”
