Kenyon's bold claim:
United Are History
Peter Kenyon last night told Manchester United that Chelsea represent the future - and will take over the football world by 2014. But while Kenyon admitted United's history still gave them an advantage over the Premiership champions, he promised that the status quo would change as the Chelsea revolution bore global fruit. Kenyon said: "Manchester United was built around heritage. We didn't have that, that meant our history started recently and it was about creating a heritage. Chelsea as a football club and a brand is more dynamic, more relevant. We certainly haven't overtaken United yet. Their fan base is bigger than ours, some seven million, and their historical success is bigger. We will be the No.1 club in football, in the world, by 2014."

Ahead of Sunday's top of the table clash, Gary Neville claims United have found the consistency that can see them push Chelsea all the way for the Premiership title this season.
Didier Drogba, who has trained despite carrying an ankle injury, hopes Sunday brings a repeat of last May's 3-0 win over United - a game he claims was his best memory since moving to Chelsea.:sticktong
