‘I don’t know about this game,’ said Buttner. ‘No one has spoken about it. It won’t happen again.’

<a class="postlink" href="http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/1595587_manchester-united-manager-sir-alex-ferguson-puts-manchester-city-penalty-record-on-the-spot" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://menmedia.co.uk/manchesterevening ... n-the-spot</a>
Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed there would be a House of Commons inquiry if Manchester United got as many penalties as Manchester City.
The number of penalties City get at the Etihad Stadium has been the subject of debate for the past two years.
Since the start of 2010-11, they have been awarded 21 spot-kicks.
In the past three games on home soil alone they have got four, two against Aston Villa and one each in the draws with Real Madrid and Everton.
And, ahead of his own side's visit to City on Sunday, Ferguson has cheekily raised the issue.
"The number of penalty kicks they get - 21 in the last year or something like that," said Ferguson.
"If we got that number of penalty kicks there'd be an inquiry in the House of Commons. There'd be a protest."
This season though, United have had more than City this season, only to miss four of them.
It piles the pressure on referee Martin Atkinson ahead of this weekend's game, which Ferguson accepts has risen markedly in profile since the days when he claimed Liverpool were United's true rivals.
"Liverpool and United games over the last 25 years have been unbelievable," said Ferguson.
"They've always been the most important games.
"It's shifted because at this moment Liverpool aren't challenging for the league like City are.
"City are our biggest threat and we're their biggest threat, so that's changed.
"Their fortunes changed the minute Sheikh Mansour took over.
"We know the minute that happened it was going to be a different ball game altogether.
"But, as we have in the past, we have to accept their challenge like we did when Chelsea came along and when Arsenal overtook Liverpool in the early 90s.
"We have to do it again."

"Tom Cleverley will have a scan this morning and we'll see what he's like. It's his calf injury, which is a worry, but we'll see. I thought Kagawa may have done enough to make the bench on Sunday but I don't think he'll be available until the Sunderland game. Vida, he's doing well in training but I think the game on Sunday is a bit soon. I think he'll be ready for Sunderland. I know we've got a few injuries at the moment but we've got a big strong squad of players. Nani and Valencia are still out. It will be a few weeks with them."

Mancini should come out and ask for an inquiry as to how many red cards and penalties they get against top 4 teams.

Just what I was thinking. This week he's stated that Kagawa, Cleverly, Anderson, Nani, Vidic and Valencia are all injured. My guess is that at least three of those will be in the squad. Not that it overly bothers me though. I'd still back us to win if all six started.

The only one that would make me a little concerned is Valencia
