He is just one of the many Citizens waiting to haunt Manchester United at the Old Trafford for a third season running. Unfortunately, the next such fixture in the Premier League is no earlier than in March!
I can take a loss. But what I can't take is how lifeless and how passionless we are. THIS IS A DERBY FFS WHERE IS THE HEART. WHERE IS THE REFUSAL TO BE BEAT. These don't realise that they've ruined my whole week now#DerbyDay #MUFC #MCIMUN #MCFC #ManchesterDerby #PremierLeague

A second successive title upcoming for Pep Guardiola and Co.? It’s surely too early to rule them out or concede to them just yet!
How about that for a chant the next time United get beaten by City?

Nobody would disagree at this moment!
Do you think Manchester City will win the Premier League title yet again? Also, where do Manchester United finish after 38 games?
