The Manchester Derby has had its fair share of iconic moments.
Asahi Super Dry has published new research which surveyed 500 City fans, with one in five saying they would rather lose their phone than suffer a defeat to rivals Manchester United.
Then they also voted for their top 10 moments from previous derbies, and there are some cookies in there. Very nostalgic.
I know you all want to see the list, so here it is:
1. Haaland’s second goal in 6-3 win – Oct 2022
2. Agüero came on as a substitute and scored an individual goal in the 3-0 win at Old Trafford – 2013
3. Mario Balotelli grabbed the headlines with a resounding 6-1 City victory – 2011
4. Foden’s first goal in 6-3 win – October 2022
5. Fernandinho with a low shot from 20 meters in the League Cup at Old Trafford – 2021
6. Denis Law’s scandalous backheel at Old Trafford helped relegate the Reds – 1974
7. Ilkay Gundogan volley 1st minute of the FA Cup final – 2023
8. Yaya Touré, winner of the FA Cup SF at Wembley – 2011
9. Kompany header against United 2012 to take the lead with two games remaining
10. Edin Dzeko scores a sixth at Old Trafford and holds five + 1 on his fingers – Oct 2011
There are some interesting ones in there, maybe there is some recency bias emerging? But there are some great moments that City fans like.
I wonder what Manchester United’s roster would be.
- Gareth Southgate warns Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish they are NOT guaranteed a place in England’s Euro 2024 squad… as he excludes Mason Greenwood from selection for the tournament.
- Ex-Man United star David de Gea ‘makes huge decision over his future in football’ with the free agent STILL looking for a new club after Old Trafford axe
- Mikel Arteta admits it could be YEARS until Arsenal win the Champions League after the reality against Bayern Munich – and says he “can’t find the words” to lift up his devastated players.
- Christian Horner WILL attend Red Bull’s new F1 car launch tomorrow – and will answer questions – as he speaks out for the first time since he and Geri Halliwell were stunned by ‘inappropriate behaviour’ probe
