Ferdinand taunts Man City: Man Utd will NEVER play for draw

Rio Ferdinand says it has to be win or bust for Manchester United in today's derby.

First meets third at Old Trafford in the top-of-the-table clash and the defender, who's set to miss the game after injuring his calf in the warm-up at Wolves last Saturday, says there's no way United will settle for a draw.

"We want three points," he told United Review. "I don't think we've ever gone out and played for a draw and we won't be doing that on Saturday.

"If any United fans are saying they'd be happy with a point then I hope they're not inside Old Trafford [on Saturday] because those sorts of thoughts won't help the team. We need positive thinking.

"Playing for a point just isn't in the DNA of Manchester United - the manager wouldn't settle for it and the players don't either."
