Sven Goran Eriksson will bury the hatchet with Alex Ferguson over
a £415 bottle of red wine.
The Manchester City boss, 59, has splashed out on a posh Cabernet
Sauvignon to share with his rival after Sundays derby clash.
Eriksson is keen to play down his run-ins with Fergie while he was
England boss.
The Swede insisted: Theres no problem between me and Alex.
"We might have had different opinions regarding United and the
national team, especially concerning friendly games. But we also
had a lot of dinners together, so theres nothing personal there at
all.
One thing is for sure, I wont be taking Alexs players like I
used to!
Eriksson ordered the top-of-the-range booze on Wednesday.
A source said: Sven didnt have time to shop around but got the
hotel where he is staying to sort him out with a top-class
bottle.
Its a £415 Cabernet Sauvignon which should be pretty
pleasant.
United have made a stuttering start to the season, drawing their
first two games.
And Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo will miss the Eastlands
clash through injury and suspension.
But Eriksson is not gloating. He said: It is a pity, as fans want
to see the best players performing.
United still have plenty of other players, though.
The wine will see Eriksson join the Fergie and Jose Mourinho wine
club. The source added: Fergie and Jose like to impress each
other.
Last year, Jose produced a £200 Portuguese bottle to share with
Sir Alex, so Svens is looking good at double that price.
