Manchester United and Manchester City are regarded as two of the Premier League’s biggest clubs, with the former winning the competition more than any other team, while the latter are the reigning champions.
There have been some memorable moments at both Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium this season, some of which not so good for both sides.
United’s recent decline, which has seen them fail to win the league title for the last seven campaigns, has brought joy to their cross-town rivals City, as well as many other supporters in the competition.
The Sky Blues on the other hand have taken advantage of the Red Devils misfortune, winning three of the last five Premier League trophies.
