Manchester City are the biggest draw in Manchester: official!

Sir Alex Ferguson may have branded Manchester City "a small club" - but the fans of Manchester United don't agree, if ticket sales at Old Trafford are anything to go by.
The first Manchester derby of the season on September 20 is already a 76,212 sell-out.
Yet last week the Premier League champions were reduced to advertising that tickets were available for the clash with Arsenal - traditionally a showpiece game - and there was still more than 1,000 empty seats inside the stadium.
Despite Fergie's snipings, it seems City are now officially the biggest draw in Manchester.
