I think a lot of people perceive that Man.Utd get more injury time than other teams but that's all it is really. No team to my mind, has made better use of the old Brian Clough adage "Than it takes just a second to score a goal" than Man.Utd have. Teams know that when they play Man.Utd it really is to the final whistle and teams know that Man.Utd will go into overdrive until the last kick of the game. You often see teams getting to about the 80th minute with a lead against them and know that they'll not going to hold on against them, so until they can overcome this fear then things will continue like so. whatever Fergie's trick is, I guess other managers would love to have some of it.

As for the Mancini comment, I saw that as just a joke as well, I mean the man was pissed off, as he knows City have a large hurdle to overcome if they want to catch Utd.
