During the latest instalment of the Manchester Derby in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday, tensions flared as wingers Jeremy Doku of Manchester City and Antony dos Santos of Manchester United engaged in a heated exchange.

Following Citizens' decisive 3-0 victory over the Red Devils, Belgian winger Doku took to social media to taunt his Brazilian counterpart.

"Stay calm. Manchester is blue," Doku captioned a picture of the two players in disagreement, sharing it on his social media platform with a mocking tone.

Doku's team secured a comfortable win in a game marked by mixed emotions in Manchester, as Manchester United mourned the passing of their legend, Sir Bobby Charlton.

Erling Haaland, who scored twice and assisted Phil Foden's goal, was instrumental in giving the blue side of Manchester the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Manchester United remained in eighth place with 15 points after suffering their fifth defeat in their first ten league matches.
