Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he was delighted to win the Manchester derby but admitted it had been a “horrible game”.

First half goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez secured a 2-0 win that sends United back to the top of the Premier League.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, the United boss admitted his side had not played well and that he was just relieved to secure all three points.

“We didn’t play well today. I think derby games can be like that, they can be horrible games and I think we got a horrible game today,” he explained.

“A win is a win at this time of the season, I congratulate the players, it’s been a great week but a hard week and well done to the lads.”

Ronaldo scored the opening goal with a free-kick before being substituted in the second-half, a decision that appeared to anger the Portuguese international but that his manager was happy to explain.

“He wanted to stay on, he’s in great form but I have to look at the big picture,” revealed Sir Alex.

“He had an incredible performance on Tuesday at Arsenal, he ran his socks off.”

The United boss was also questioned about his other goalscorer Tevez, who was in the headlines today insisting he would leave the club in the summer, however Ferguson refused to be draw on the subject.

“I didn’t read any of it, you hear things, he’s a Manchester United player,” he said.

“They [the Old Trafford crowd] want triers, that’s the great thing about football, a lad who tries all the time can be forgiven many things.

“[But] I’m not getting into that [Tevez] at all, OK?”

Next up for the Red Devils is a trip to Wigan Athletic on Wednesday night where a win will see them move six points clear of Liverpool with only two games left to play and Ferguson admitted it would be a tough game.

“It’s a hard game, we have three days to prepare,” he admitted.

“I will freshen the team up again, I rested two or three players today.

“We may have Rio Ferdinand back and we may have two or three changes.”

Fergie should just sign tevez up. True, he’s not a prolific goal-scorer, but his all-round contribution, work-rate, determination and passion cannot be doubted.

Rather than spending 34m on Benzema who is untested in English football, I would rather Fergie gives Tevez a permanant deal.

i think the main consideration is MU to spend another 30m on a forward who may not score goals like maybe a RVN.. cause after Ronaldo, no one is scoring in the 30s..

so they want one proven goal-scorer. as for benzema, he is young, strong, and maybe, SAF can mold him into another RVN..

cause Tevez's goal scoring is periodic cause of his playing time..

just my thoughts.

I'd blame it on his agent really.

Robinho said earlier in the season he wants to win the EPL this year... and now he wans to win it in the next few years... Gd mentality.

But good try Robinho.

What a unrealistic target by Robinho, they should target qualifying for champions league before anything else.

I don't see anything wrong with it, really...

He is currently the top scorer (17) in the Premiership and I think he wanted to add to his goal tally last night. Anelka is on 16 after scoring another last night, Gerrard on 15, Robinho 14 and Torres 13...

It was and opportunity for him to add more to his goal tally but was taken away... Thats probably why he is upset... Its understandable...

agreed... I think what SAF did, in the course of "bigger" picture is good.

Imagine, he just bochap and walk off, then it is danger sign, but isn't it good he wants wants more...

but it is nice to see when he was withdrawn, the sub were Rooney and Scholes.. Strength in depth..

Pity City, even with a chopped up United, they can't get it past..

Ronaldo probably have 2 more matches this season in the premiership... Wigan and Arsenal. I believe he won't play the last match of the season if they finish Pool's title chase by next sat... He will most likely be rested against Hull City on the 24th as the CL final is on the 27th... So this only give him 2 more matches to be top scorer in the Premiership again this season... So you could understand why he wanted to continue playing yesterday...
