Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand insists he is not worried about what neighbours City do as the Premier League title race hots up. Both teams have just eight games remaining in the title run-in, but the Red Devils hold the advantage of a three-point lead following their slender 1-0 win against Fulham on Monday night. The centre-back is confident that Sir Alex Ferguson's latest squad can handle the pressure of leading from the front and has backed them to retain the Premier League title. The 33-year-old said: "Fulham had a game plan, they set their stall out to frustrate us and did that for long periods. "But in the end, after a couple of crosses, we got the ball in the back of the net. "I just think that at Old Trafford, if teams are going to come here and frustrate us, we know we're still going to create chances." Nerve And he added: "You've got to hold your nerve but as important as that, if not more so, is trusting each other. "That's the way you've got to be and the team that does that best between now and the end of the season will be the one to win the league." And Ferdinand claims United could not care what happens with City as they focus on winning every game up until the end of the season. "If it's 0-0 after 88 minutes we know we're going to create chances in the dying moments to win games and it's important to keep that in mind," said Ferdinand. "We don't care what happens with them (City), it's about us. "If we remain calm and win all our games we'll be successful."
