Emmanuel Adebayor: Manchester United Would Not Have Beaten City If I'd Been Playing
Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes he would have been the difference-maker had he not been suspended for his side's clash with Manchester United.
Mark Hughes' men thrice equalised at Old Trafford, only to leave the pitch crestfallen as Michael Owen struck in the 6th minute of added time to gift-wrap maximum points for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Adebayor, a £25 million summer signing from Arsenal, though, was suspended for the game due to the three-match ban retrospectively imposed on him for his stamp on former team-mate Robin van Persie during the 4-2 victory at the City of Manchester Stadium the week before.
"No way did United deserve to beat us," Adebayor is understood to have told The People. "I am sure I would have scored had I been on the pitch."
"I had a bad afternoon against Manchester United because I am sure that if I had played that day then I would have scored a goal.
