The '''Manchester derby''' refers to [[association football|football]] matches between [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] and [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], first contested in 1881. City play at the [[City of Manchester Stadium]] in [[Bradford, Manchester|Bradford]], east [[Manchester]], while United play at [[Old Trafford]] in the borough of [[Trafford]], [[Greater Manchester]]; the two grounds are separated by approximately {{convert|4|mi}}. The teams have played 194 matches in all competitions; United winning 79, City 61 and the remaining 54 have been drawn. Amongst [[List of football clubs in England by competitive honours won|the most successful clubs in England]], they have won a combined 104 honours: 68 for Manchester United and 36 for Manchester City. They are also the first two English clubs and first cross-city rivals to have won the [[Treble (association football)|treble]]; United's success came in [[1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season|1999]], while City's occurred [[2022–23 Manchester City F.C. season|24 years later]].

==History==
[[File:Manchester Football Map.jpg|thumb|upright|Map of Manchester showing the current and former home grounds of the clubs.<br />City: Hyde Road (1887–1923), Maine Road (1923–2003), City of Manchester (2003–present).<br />United: North Road (1878–1893), Bank Street (1893–1910), Old Trafford (1910–present).]]
The first meeting between the two teams occurred on 12 November 1881, when St. Mark's (West Gorton) – who would later become Manchester City – hosted Newton Heath LYR – who would later become Manchester United. The game finished 3–0 in favour of Newton Heath and was described by the ''Ashton Reporter'' as "a pleasant game".<ref>Gary James, ''Manchester: The Greatest City'' (Polar Publishing, 2002), p.12.</ref> At this time, the clubs were just two of many fledgling sides in the Manchester area, and the fixture had no special significance. Both clubs grew in stature as the 1880s progressed, leading to their first meeting of the 1890s being billed as "a meeting of two local clubs, <nowiki>[Ardwick (City)]</nowiki> just rising to the highest standard in the football world whilst <nowiki>[Newton Heath]</nowiki> are nearly in the front rank".<ref>{{cite book |title=Manchester City – The Birth of the Blues 1880–1894 |publisher=Paul Toovey |year=2009 |location=Stockport |isbn=978-0-9561910-0-7 |page=90 }}</ref> The pair became the dominant teams in the Manchester area; the winner of the [[Manchester Cup]] was either Newton Heath or Ardwick every year between 1888 and 1893. Both teams joined the [[Football Alliance]], a short-lived rival to the Football League. During this period both clubs made unsuccessful attempts to gain election to the League (Newton Heath in 1889, 1890 and 1891; Ardwick in 1891). Admission to the Football League finally came in 1892. Newton Heath joined the First Division, and Ardwick the new Second Division.<ref>{{cite book |last=James |first=Gary |title=Manchester – A Football History |publisher=James Ward |location=Halifax |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-9558127-0-5 |pages=71–72 }}</ref>

===Early years===
The first Football League meeting between the teams came in the 1894–95 season, Newton Heath beating Manchester City 5–2 at [[Hyde Road Football Stadium|Hyde Road]]. In the late 1890s, Scottish brothers [[Billie Gillespie|Billy]] and [[Matthew Gillespie]] played on opposite sides in the fixture on three occasions.<ref>[https://bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/History/Players/Player.aspx?id=91 Billy Gillespie], BlueMoon. Retrieved 1 January 2022.</ref><ref>[http://www.mufcinfo.com/manupag/a-z_player_archive/a-z_player_archive_pages/gillespie_matthew.html MUFCInfo.com] MUFCInfo.com. Retrieved 1 January 2022.</ref> The first meeting between the clubs to take place at the highest level of English football occurred in December 1906, a 3–0 City win in a [[Football League First Division|First Division]] match for which the gate receipts exceeded £1,000, a very large figure for the era.<ref>{{cite book |chapter="A quick look back" |title=Manchester City v Manchester United match programme |date=30 September 1967 |page=17 }}</ref> At this time City were suffering the after-effects of a [[English football bribery scandal|financial scandal]] in which the club were found guilty of making off-balance sheet payments to players. As a result, seventeen players were suspended and banned from ever representing the club again,<ref>Ward, ''The Manchester City Story'', p. 14.</ref> including the core of the team which had won the [[1904 FA Cup final|1904 FA Cup]]. When the suspensions ended in January 1907, four players ([[Jimmy Bannister]], [[Herbert Burgess]], [[Billy Meredith]] and [[Sandy Turnbull]]) joined United, where they helped United gain their first league title in 1908. In contrast to modern antipathy, the transfers were generally welcomed for helping a fellow Manchester club.<ref>James, ''Manchester – A Football History, pp. 117–9''</ref> The following season Turnbull became the first player to be sent off in a derby.<ref>Cawley & James, ''The Pride of Manchester'', p. 41.</ref>

Before the Second World War, many football supporters in Manchester watched City one week and United the next. After the war, a stronger rivalry developed and following both teams became uncommon.

===Floodlights===
The first floodlit Manchester derby was played on 26 February 1889 at the Belle Vue Athletic Ground. Wells electric lights were placed around the ground and a crowd of 10,000 watched Newton Heath defeat Ardwick 3–2. The match was played in aid of the Hyde Coal Mine disaster.<ref>Gary James & Keith Mellor, ''From Maine Men To Banana Citizens'' (Temple Press, 1989), p8.</ref>

The first competitive floodlit derby was the [[1956 FA Charity Shield]] match, as Manchester United were defending league champions and Manchester City were FA Cup holders.<ref>Steve Cawley & Gary James, ''The Pride of Manchester – A History of the Manchester Derby'' (ACL & Polar Publishing, 1991), p320.</ref> The game was a break with tradition as Charity Shield games were typically played at the home ground of the League Champions, but as Old Trafford had yet to install lights, the game was played at Maine Road.

===1970s===
Manchester derbies in the 1970s saw two controversial incidents. In the December 1970 derby, a tackle by United's [[George Best]] broke the leg of City's [[Glyn Pardoe]]; the severity of the injury almost resulted in the City defender losing his leg.<ref>Gary James, ''Manchester: The Greatest City'' (Polar Publishing, 2002), 283.</ref> The following season, an entertaining 3–3 draw saw [[Francis Lee (footballer)|Francis Lee]] accuse Best of diving and emphasised the point to the referee by throwing himself theatrically to the floor. The first derby of the 1973–74 season saw [[Mike Doyle (footballer)|Mike Doyle]] and [[Lou Macari]] each receive a [[Misconduct (football)|red card]] in a dour contest which finished 0–0 at [[Maine Road]]. Both players refused to leave the pitch, leading the referee to take both teams back to the dressing room until the two players accepted their dismissals.<ref>{{cite news |title=Derby day memories: Lou Macari |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-day-memories-lou-macari-1158709 |work=Manchester Evening News |publisher=MEN Media |date=8 February 2005 |access-date=17 January 2011 }}</ref>

====Denis Law game====
[[File:Denis Law.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Denis Law]] scored the winning goal for Manchester City at Old Trafford near the end of the 1973–74 season.]]
The return fixture came at Old Trafford on the penultimate day of the season (United still had an away game to play at Stoke) with United trying to avoid relegation with a win, although they were also relying on Norwich beating Birmingham that day for their result to matter. After 80 minutes, with no score, Francis Lee played the ball towards former United player [[Denis Law]] who was standing with his back to goal. Law back-heeled the ball past goalkeeper [[Alex Stepney]] into the net. This was Law's last appearance in league football, announcing his retirement soon after. In the closing minutes of the match, United supporters invaded the pitch and forced an abandonment. However, the result stood, and other results meant that United would have still been relegated if the match had ended in a United win or a draw.

United returned to the First Division a year later. The rest of the decade brought generally good fortunes for the two sides, as City won the League Cup in 1976 and were league runners-up a year later, while United reached three FA Cup finals in four seasons, although they had only one win in the competition.

===1980s===
The 1980's began with a 2–2 draw at [[Old Trafford]] between the two sides on 27 September 1980. It was the beginning of a relatively frustrating season in the league for United, who sacked manager [[Dave Sexton]] at the end of the campaign, while City dismissed manager [[Malcolm Allison]] soon afterwards and improved in the league under his successor [[John Bond (footballer)|John Bond]], also reaching [[1981 FA Cup final|the FA Cup final]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aboutmanutd.com/man-u-matches/27-09-1980-manchester-city.html |title=About Man Utd &#124; Manchester United vs Manchester City - 27 Sep 1980 |access-date=6 November 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105185447/http://www.aboutmanutd.com/man-u-matches/27-09-1980-manchester-city.html |archive-date=5 November 2012}}</ref>

By [[1982–83 in English football|1982–83]], however, any suggestions that City were a better side than United were silenced as United finished third in the league and [[1983 FA Cup final|won the FA Cup]], while City were relegated. The Old Trafford derby on 23 October 1982 ended in a 2–2 draw, but United won the return game at [[Maine Road]] 2–1 on 5 March 1983.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aboutmanutd.com/man-u-seasons/1982-1983.html |title=About Man Utd &#124; 1982-1983, Manchester United season |access-date=6 November 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121116121215/http://www.aboutmanutd.com/man-u-seasons/1982-1983.html |archive-date=16 November 2012}}</ref>

City regained their First Division status for the [[1985-86 in English football|1985–86 season]], and hosted United at Maine Road on 14 September 1985. United won this game 3–0, to extend their winning start to the league season to eight games. They would go on to win all of their opening 10 games and lead the First Division table into the new year, but eventually finished fourth. Although City finished 15th in the league this season, they did come to Old Trafford on 22 March 1986 and hold the hosts to a 2–2 draw, costing them two vital points as their title hopes continued to fade.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manchester-united-fans-site.com/manchester-united-results-1985-86.html |title=Manchester United Results 1985-86, Division One, FA Cup, League Cup |access-date=12 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110905231124/http://www.manchester-united-fans-site.com/manchester-united-results-1985-86.html |archive-date=5 September 2011 }}</ref>

[[1986-87 in English football|1986–87]] brought relegation for City, while United finished 11th in a season which saw them replace [[Ron Atkinson]] with [[Alex Ferguson]] as manager on 6 November 1986. One of Atkinson's last games in charge of United was the visit to Maine Road in the league on 25 October, which ended in a 1–1 draw. Alex Ferguson first faced City as United manager on 10 January 1987 in the third round of the FA Cup, which United won 1–0. The league clash at Old Trafford came on 7 March 1987, which United won 2–0 to continue their improvement in form under Ferguson and push City closer to eventual relegation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.manchester-united-fans-site.com/manchester-united-results-1986-87.html |title=Manchester United Results 1986-87, Division One, FA Cup, League Cup |access-date=6 November 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829164521/http://www.manchester-united-fans-site.com/manchester-united-results-1986-87.html |archive-date=29 August 2012}}</ref>

The 1980s ended on a high note for City as they won promotion back to the First Division in 1989 and were paired with United for the derby match at Maine Road on 23 September 1989, just weeks into the [[1989-90 in English football|1989–90 season]]. City defeated United 5–1, but this would be their last win over United for 13 years.<ref>{{cite news |title=From the Vault: Manchester City beat United 5–1 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/sep/23/manchester-city-united-derby-1989 |work=The Guardian |location=London |date=23 September 2009 }}</ref>

===1990s===
Goalkeeper [[Peter Schmeichel]], who played for both United and City, can claim an unbeaten record in derby games – United were unbeaten during his 10 matches keeping goal for them against City, while in his single season at Maine Road, City beat United at home and picked up a point at Old Trafford.

However, in the 1990s, United dominated the fixture, going unbeaten in derbies for the full decade. In [[1990–91 in English football|1990–91]], with both Manchester clubs competing in the top half of the table but not looking like real title contenders, the [[Maine Road]] clash in October delivered a pulsating 3–3 draw, but the return match at Old Trafford in early May saw United win 1–0 and the only goal of the game came from 17-year-old winger [[Ryan Giggs]], scoring the first senior goal of what would prove to be an illustrious and uniquely successful career. The [[1991–92 in English football|1991–92]] derbies were uneventful – a goalless draw at Maine Road in mid-November and a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford in early April. United finished the season runners-up after leading the league for much of the season, finally buckling under fixture congestion and a shortage of goals in the second half of the campaign.

The first Manchester derby following the creation of the [[Premier League]] for the [[1992–93 in English football|1992–93 season]] was a 2–1 win for United at Old Trafford on 6 December 1992. Making his United debut on that day was new signing [[Eric Cantona]], who would go on to score eight goals in Manchester derbies over the next four seasons – the first in the return match at Maine Road that March which ended in a 1–1 draw. [[1993–94 in English football|1993–94]] saw one of the finest Manchester derbies ever, when United overturned a 2–0 deficit at Maine Road to win 3–2, with Eric Cantona scoring twice. Cantona scored a double on [[St George's Day]] as United won 2–0 at Old Trafford. Cantona was on target again in the next Manchester derby in November 1994, though it was [[Andrei Kanchelskis]] who stole the show with a hat-trick in a 5–0 win. United won the return game 3–0 at Maine Road three months later. 1995–96 was the last season of the millennium which brought a Manchester derby, as City were relegated at the end of the season. The first derby of the season came at Old Trafford in mid-October with a 1–0 win for United in which [[Paul Scholes]], still only 20, scored the only goal of the game and only a string of superb saves from United goalkeeper [[Peter Schmeichel]] prevented City from gaining a surprise win. The return game in early April saw United win 3–2 at Maine Road, with yet another goal from Cantona, who had netted a highly controversial penalty after [[Uwe Rosler]] had put City 1–0 FA Cup fifth round two months earlier, which United went on to win 2–1.

===2000s===
Three years later, in the first Old Trafford derby of the new millennium in April 2001, saw the culmination of a long-standing feud between [[Roy Keane]] and [[Alfie Haaland]], which Keane received a red card for making a knee-high tackle on Haaland. The feud started in 1997, when United captain Keane suffered a [[cruciate ligament]] injury when he fouled Haaland (then playing for Leeds, a team that also have an unpleasant rivalry with United). As Keane lay on the ground, Haaland accused him of feigning injury. The game ended in a 1–1 draw; United were already league champions and City's two dropped points brought them closer to eventual relegation, which was confirmed in the penultimate game of the season. It was the first time in nine years that City had come away from Old Trafford unbeaten, and the first time in eight years that they had been unbeaten by United home or away in any competition.

In his autobiography, published in 2002, Keane admitted that the challenge was a premeditated attempt to injure, an admission which resulted in a £150,000 fine and a five-match ban during the autumn of that year.

[[File:Scarves of Derby Day.jpg|thumb|upright|Commemorative scarves given out for the 50th anniversary of the [[Munich air disaster]] which coincided with the Manchester derby in February 2008. Blue scarves were also given to Manchester City supporters. ]]

On 9 November 2002, City, managed by [[Kevin Keegan]], won the last derby at Maine Road 3–1, with [[Shaun Goater]] scoring his 100th and 101st goals for the club, and [[Nicolas Anelka]] scoring the other. This was City's first win over United since the 5–1 victory in 1989, ending a 13-year barren run for the blue half of Manchester. City would later go on to draw at Old Trafford in the same season 1–1, Shaun Goater again scoring the goal. This was the first season since [[1991–92 in English football|1991–92]] that City had been unbeaten by United in either of their league meetings.

Goater also had a second goal disallowed for handball, which would have handed City their first derby double over United since 1970 and their first win at Old Trafford since the "Denis Law game" of 1974. City followed this up by winning the first ever derby match at their new stadium, the [[City of Manchester Stadium]], 4–1, with goals from [[Robbie Fowler]], [[Jon Macken]], [[Trevor Sinclair]] and [[Shaun Wright-Phillips]].

The [[2007–08 Premier League|2007–08]] derby games were both won by Manchester City, 1–0 at the City of Manchester Stadium on 19 August 2007, and 2–1 at [[Old Trafford]] on 10 February 2008 (four days after the 50th anniversary of the [[Munich air disaster]]; a well-observed one-minute silence preceded the match). [[Darius Vassell]] and [[Benjani Mwaruwari|Benjani]] scored for City in the 24th and 45th minutes respectively, and [[Michael Carrick]] scored a consolation goal for United in the 90th minute. It was the first time since April 1974 that City had beaten United in the league at Old Trafford and the first time they had won both league derby games since the 1969–70 season. United prevented City from winning a third consecutive derby match in the first derby of the [[2008–09 Premier League|2008–09 season]], [[Wayne Rooney]] scoring the game's only goal. [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] was sent off in the same game for a bizarre handball. Ronaldo and [[Carlos Tevez]] then scored in the return match at Old Trafford to give United a 2–0 win.

===2010s===
[[File:Wembley Manchester derby pre-kick-off.JPG|thumb|190px|right|Wembley pictured before the [[2010–11 FA Cup#Semi-finals|2010–11 FA Cup semi-final]] – only the second semi-final between both clubs and the first ever meeting at Wembley (new or old).]]
The seasons following City's takeover in [[2008–09 in English football|2008–09]], saw two well-contested semi-final fixtures (League Cup and FA Cup) between the clubs. Controversy was generated prior to the start of the [[2009–10 in English football|2009–10 season]], when City signed Carlos Tevez after his contract with United ended and erected a billboard reading "Welcome to Manchester" at the top of [[Deansgate]]. The billboard provoked Alex Ferguson into claiming City were a "small club with a small mentality"<ref>{{Cite news |title=Man City a small club – Ferguson |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8169153.stm |publisher=bbc.co.uk |date=26 July 2009 |access-date=17 April 2011}}</ref> and subsequently called them "noisy neighbours"<ref>{{cite news |first=James |last=Ducker |title=Sir Alex Ferguson stokes up hostilities with Manchester City after derby victory |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6841960.ece |location=London |newspaper=The Times |date=21 September 2009 }}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> during the season.

The 2009–10 season featured some tense matches, including two League Cup semi-final legs. Sir Alex Ferguson proclaimed the 2009–10 Manchester derby at Old Trafford as "probably [...] the best derby of all time".<ref>{{cite news |title=Boss Ferguson hails 'best derby' |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8265764.stm |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=20 September 2009 |access-date=15 July 2011 }}</ref> Manchester United [[Manchester United F.C. 4–3 Manchester City F.C.

City won the first leg 2–1 after overturning a 1–0 deficit made by Ryan Giggs with goals from Carlos Tevez. United went 2–0 up in the second leg via Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick before Tevez made it 2–1, levelling the tie and setting the game up for extra time. However, Rooney scored a stoppage time header which won the tie for United and took them to their second consecutive League Cup final. On 17 April 2010, United beat City 1–0 thanks to a 90th minute Scholes goal, but the victory was to little avail as it was not enough to help United chase Chelsea down to win the Premier League title, pipping United by a point.

The [[2010–11 in English football|2010–11 season]] featured three Manchester derbies, with one victory for United, one draw and one victory for City. The victory for United was at Old Trafford, where Wayne Rooney defined the game through a spectacular bicycle kick, this game gave United some space to overcome the rest of the season and get their 19th league title. City's win came in the FA Cup semi-final, knocking United out on the way to their ninth FA Cup final, and their first trophy since 1976. Consequently, the Community Shield that began the [[2011–12 in English football|2011–12 season]] was a Manchester derby, as United won the league the same day City won the FA Cup, 14 May. United won the [[2011 FA Community Shield|Community Shield]] 3–2 at Wembley, coming from two goals behind to clinch the Shield in stoppage time.

On 23 October 2011, Manchester City beat United [[Manchester United F.C. 1–6 Manchester City F.C.|6–1]] at Old Trafford, giving the latter their first defeat of the season. [[Jonny Evans]] was sent off in the 47th minute after fouling [[Mario Balotelli]], with the score at 1–0 to City. United pulled a goal back at 3–0 down before three goals for City sealed their victory. The 6–1 score was the biggest defeat suffered by Manchester United against City at Old Trafford since the 5–0 loss in 1955. It was also the first time since 1926 that City had scored six at Old Trafford, when the score that day also finished 6–1.

United and City met for the third time in the season in the third round of the FA Cup, resulting in a 3–2 win for United. The scoring opened in the tenth minute as [[Wayne Rooney]] headed neatly past stand-in keeper [[Costel Pantilimon]], before [[Vincent Kompany]] received a red card in the 12th minute for a challenge on [[Nani (footballer)|Nani]]. United went 3–0 up by half time, and successfully battled off a second half comeback from City in which they scored twice. The game was notable for the re-emergence of [[Paul Scholes]], who came out of retirement and replaced Nani in the 59th minute.

The first Manchester derby of the [[2012–13 in English football|2012–13 season]] was won by Manchester United in the dying minutes of the game. United went ahead with two early goals from [[Wayne Rooney]], before City came back and levelled the match with goals from [[Yaya Touré]] and the equaliser from [[Pablo Zabaleta]] in the 86th minute. [[Robin van Persie]] scored from a free kick that took a deflection off of [[Samir Nasri]] in the 92nd minute, to seal the win and three points in the league.

===2020s===
The late 2010s and early 2020s saw City reach unprecedented levels of success, winning the league in six out of seven seasons under the management of [[Pep Guardiola]]. Most of these seasons were characterised by closely fought title battles between [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] and City, however the derby games between United and City continued to be competitive and mostly unpredictable.

The first derbies of the 2020s came in a [[2019–20 EFL Cup]] semi-final tie in January 2020. City's 3–1 win in the first leg at Old Trafford was enough to send them to their third successive EFL Cup final,<ref>{{cite news |first=Chris |last=Bevan |title=Carabao Cup - Man Utd 1-3 Man City: Holders overwhelm rivals in semi-final first leg |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50953053 |website=BBC Sport |date=7 January 2020 |access-date=30 January 2020 }}</ref> as United were only able to produce a 1–0 win in the second leg at the City of Manchester Stadium.<ref>{{cite news |first=Chris |last=Bevan |title=Manchester City 0-1 Manchester United (agg: 3-2): Blues into EFL Cup final despite defeat |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51201817 |website=BBC Sport |date=29 January 2020 |access-date=30 January 2020 }}</ref>

The first league derby in this decade came exactly a week after City's EFL Cup triumph in March 2020. Played at Old Trafford, goals from Anthony Martial and [[Scott McTominay]] completed United's first league double over City since [[2009–10 Premier League|2009–10]] and proved to be their last home match to be watched by spectators before the restrictions caused by the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom|COVID-19 pandemic]] started.<ref>{{cite news |first=Phil |last=McNulty |title=Man Utd 2-0 Man City: Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay score in derby win |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51693762|work=BBC Sport |date=8 March 2020 |access-date=9 March 2020 }}</ref>

The following [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom|COVID-19]] affected season, the two clubs met once more in a [[2020–21 EFL Cup|EFL Cup]] semi-final. This was the fourth time the clubs had met at this stage of the competition and the third time in eleven years.

In [[2021–22 Premier League|2021–22]], City were able to end their run of derby league home defeats and complete their first double over United in three seasons, with a 2–0 victory at Old Trafford in November 2021 and a convincing 4–1 win at the City of Manchester Stadium in March 2022, with [[Hat-trick#Braces|braces]] from both [[Kevin De Bruyne]] and [[Riyad Mahrez]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Man City v Man Utd, 2021/22 {{!}} Premier League |url=https://www.premierleague.com/match/66616 |access-date=23 September 2022|date=6 March 2022 |website=PremierLeague.com|publisher=Premier League}}</ref>

Both Manchester clubs are regarded as among the best in the world, with both consistently progressing to the latter stages of UEFA competitions in recent years and both are in the top 5 of football clubs by revenue.

Additionally, and in a unique twist on a cross-city rivalry, both clubs' fans accuse each other of not representing their city, with the blue half of the city observing that their adversaries do not actually play in the city of Manchester (in [[Trafford]]) and therefore do not warrant their name, while the red half instead argue over which team has more fans inside of the city. City fans often ridicule United fans for being tourists in a play towards United's global fan base, stating that City is the club for the locals and United fans travel up from [[London]] or fly in from [[Europe]] and [[Asia]] for a day out. Following on from this City fans have often called United ''"plastics"'' or ''"glory supporters"'' again in reference to their on the field dominance over several decades that made the club hugely popular with football supporters outside of Manchester, that even lead United captain [[Roy Keane]] to make a comment against his own supporters by calling them the ''"[[prawn sandwich brigade]]"''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=31 May 2021 |title=Plastic fans: Why are they hated and who are the worst culprits? |url=https://footballwhispers.com/blog/plastic-fans/ |access-date=8 August 2023 |website=footballwhispers.com }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=9 November 2022 |title=Roy Keane's infamous 'prawn sandwich brigade' rant at Man Utd fans is still incredible, 22 years on |url=https://www.sportbible.com/football/roy-keane-man-utd-prawn-sandwich-20221109 |access-date=8 August 2023 |website=SPORTbible }}</ref> In turn, owing to the growth of City's global status following their 2008 takeover which brought significant success on the field, United fans have said many "plastic" fans have jumped on City's bandwagon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tribuna.com/en/manutd/news/2020-03-06-how-many-plastic-fans-are-actually-there-among-united-supporters/|title=How many 'plastic fans' are actually there among United supporters?|website=Tribuna.com|access-date=18 January 2021|archive-date=24 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124155051/https://tribuna.com/en/manutd/news/2020-03-06-how-many-plastic-fans-are-actually-there-among-united-supporters/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.footballparadise.com/im-a-united-fan-and-im-not-a-plastic/|title=I'm a United fan and I'm not a Plastic!|date=7 April 2014}}</ref>

The most commonly used name by City fans to describe their cross-city rivals is the term ''"The Rags"'', this is due to a period after [[World War II]] where United were given use of City's [[Maine Road]] stadium after [[Old Trafford]] had been bombed by the [[Luftwaffe]].

As of 10 August 2024, there have been 194 competitive meetings between the teams. United have won 79, City have won 61, and the remaining 54 games finished as draws.

The biggest victories have been to City, who have won 6–1 on two occasions in the official league (both times in the away fixture at Old Trafford): on 23 January 1926 and [[Manchester United F.C. 1–6 Manchester City F.C.|23 October 2011]].

==Honours==
===Team honours===
[[File:Manchester football club honours.png|thumb|right|Season by season honours of both clubs]]
City won their first honour in [[1904 FA Cup final|1904]], with victory in the FA Cup, and United in [[1907–08 Football League#First Division|1908]], with the Football League First Division title. There have been five occasions where City and United finished as champions and runners-up in the league, during the [[1967–68 Football League#First Division|1967–68]], [[2011–12 Premier League|2011–12]], [[2012–13 Premier League|2012–13]], [[2017–18 Premier League|2017–18]] and [[2020–21 Premier League|2020–21]] seasons. On the first two occasions, City pipped United to the title in the last game of the season, with both teams going into their final games level on points. In 2013, United finished 11 points clear to clinch their 20th title. City finished 19 points clear in 2018, breaking a record set by United in the [[1999–2000 FA Premier League|1999–2000 season]]. Seven semi-finals (two in the FA Cup and five in the League Cup) have been played between the two clubs. The [[2023 FA Cup final]] became the first-ever Manchester derby in a major cup final, which City won. United are historically more successful in terms of overall titles, having won 68 trophies compared to City's 36.

==Non-competitive derbies==
A large number of non-competitive Manchester derbies have taken place, including the first match between the two sides' precursors, Newton Heath and St Mark's, in November 1881. The majority of these occurred during the Second World War, when a total of 44 matches were played between the teams. In recent years, non-competitive matches between the teams have generally been [[testimonial match|testimonials]], such as those for [[Paul Lake]] and [[Denis Irwin]]. In 1978, for [[Colin Bell (footballer, born 1946)|Colin Bell]]'s testimonial, players from City and United lined up side by side against a combined Liverpool and Everton team in a Manchester v Merseyside fixture.

Matches between non-first-team sides representing the Manchester clubs also have an element of rivalry, with occasions when the reserve teams meet sometimes referred to as "mini-derbies".<ref>{{cite news |title=Reds mini derby revenge mission |url=http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/116/116319_reds_mini_derbyrevenge_mission.html |work=Manchester Evening News |publisher=MEN Media |date=11 May 2004 |access-date=17 January 2011 |archive-date=12 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112171102/http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/116/116319_reds_mini_derbyrevenge_mission.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> This term is also used in reference to when supporters' offshoot clubs ([[Maine Road F.C.]] and [[F.C. United of Manchester]]) meet. The two clubs have met twice, in the 2006–07 season, with FC United winning the inaugural match 2–1 away at [[Bower Fold]], [[Stalybridge]], in front of 3,181 spectators.<ref>{{cite web |title=Match Report1 |publisher=fc-utd.co.uk |url=http://www.fc-utd.co.uk/m_report.php?match_id=81|access-date=27 December 2010 }}</ref> United also won the second game 3–0 at [[Gigg Lane]], [[Bury, Greater Manchester|Bury]] in a game watched by 3,605.<ref>{{cite web |title=Match Report2 |publisher=fc-utd.co.uk |url=http://www.fc-utd.co.uk/m_report.php?match_id=103|access-date=27 December 2010 }}</ref> A friendly in 2009 saw Maine Road win {{nowrap|2–1}}.

The first meeting between the sides in a national competition occurred in the first qualifying round of the 1891–92 FA Cup. In their early years the Manchester clubs sometimes regarded the FA Cup as a low priority. In the previous season Newton Heath named a reserve team for their tie against [[Bootle F.C.|Bootle]],<ref>Cowley & James, ''The Pride of Manchester'', p. 290.</ref> and Ardwick withdrew from their second-round tie at [[Haliwell F.C.|Haliwell]], opting to play a friendly against [[Higher Walton F.C.|Higher Walton]] instead.<ref>Toovey, "Manchester City – The Birth of the Blues 1880–1894", p. 109.</ref> This time both clubs treated the match as a senior fixture. Newton Heath won 5–1 at North Road.

The second FA Cup derby was a far more prestigious occasion – a semi-final at [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]]'s [[Bramall Lane]] in 1926. City won 3–0, but were beaten in the final by [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]].<ref>Heatley & Welch, ''The Great Derby Matches – Manchester United v Manchester City'', p. 33.</ref> 29 years later City overcame United 2–0 in the fourth round, and again reached the final only to be runners-up.

The first League Cup derby was in the 1969–70 season. City won a two-legged semi-final 4–3 on aggregate, and this win went on to win the competition. One month later the teams met once more, in the FA Cup fourth round. United avenged their earlier defeat with a 3–0 win.<ref>Cowley & James, ''The Pride of Manchester'', p. 297.</ref> The clubs met in the League Cup twice more in the 1970s, both in the fourth round. In 1974–75 United won 1–0 at Old Trafford. This match is the only competitive derby to have occurred while the clubs were in different divisions.<ref>Cowley & James, ''The Pride of Manchester'', p. 304.</ref> Manchester United were in the Second Division, having been relegated the previous season. The following season the teams met in the competition again, with United a First Division team once more. City won 4–0 at Maine Road, and went on to win the competition.<ref>Heatley & Welch, ''The Great Derby Matches – Manchester United v Manchester City'', p. 59.</ref> However, the match also saw [[Colin Bell (footballer, born 1946)|Colin Bell]] suffer a knee injury that eventually led to his retirement.<ref>whitell, ''Manchester City Greats'', p. 95.</ref>

In the 34 years following City's triumph in 1975, only three cup fixtures occurred perhaps symbolising City's worst decline of their 130-year history. All three cup fixtures were in the FA Cup, all at Old Trafford and all won by United. The only cup derby of the 1980s was a 1–0 United win in the 1987 FA Cup third round.<ref>Cowley & James, ''The Pride of Manchester'', p. 298.</ref> The next cup meeting was at Old Trafford in 1996, was decided by a hotly disputed penalty for United, described by ''The Independent'' as "like prosecuting someone for littering during a riot".<ref>{{cite news |first=Glenn |last=Moore |title=Sharpe rounds off United's lucky day |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-sharpe-rounds-off-uniteds-lucky-day-1319729.html |work=The Independent |location=London |date=15 February 1996 |access-date=31 March 2011 }}</ref> Eight years later the next cup meeting was at Old Trafford in the FA Cup with United emerging victorious in an eventful 4–2 victory which saw [[Gary Neville]] sent-off for head-butting [[Steve McManaman]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Man Utd 4–2 Man City |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/3468365.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=14 February 2004 |access-date=29 April 2011 }}</ref>

More recently, the clubs met in the [[2023 FA Cup final]], notable not only for being the first-ever major cup final pitting City against United, but also for featuring the fastest goal ever scored in an FA Cup final, as [[İlkay Gündoğan]]'s volley gave City a 1–0 lead only 12 seconds into the match. City went on to win 2–1 en route to finish [[2022–23 Manchester City F.C. season|their season]] with the [[Treble (association football)|treble]], emulating United's success [[1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season|24 years earlier]]. They met in the [[2024 FA Cup final|following season's cup final]], the second ever FA Cup final to have two same sides in consecutive seasons. This time, United prevailed by the same scoreline; [[Alejandro Garnacho]] and [[Kobbie Mainoo]] put United 2–0 at half time, before [[Jérémy Doku]] pulled one back.

==Shared player history==
===Players who have played for both clubs===
The first transfers of note between the clubs occurred in 1906. During the 1905–06 season City became embroiled in a financial scandal, which resulted in the suspension of seventeen players,<ref>James, ''Manchester – A Football History'', p.116.</ref> including most of the team that had won the [[1904 FA Cup final]]. United signed four of these players: [[Billy Meredith]], [[Sandy Turnbull]], [[Herbert Burgess]] and [[Jimmy Bannister]]. All four were subsequently part of the team which won United's first major trophy, the [[1907–08 Football League#First Division|1908 league championship]].

Scottish striker [[Denis Law]] had several spells with City sandwiching an eleven-year spell with United, which saw him become a club legend, between 1962 and 1973. In 1974, he scored the winner for City at Old Trafford in a game that condemned United to relegation, Law did not celebrate the goal and walked off the field with his head down when substituted.

[[Brian Kidd]] began his career with United in 1967 and went on to make 203 appearances before leaving in 1974. Two years later, he joined City and made 98 appearances over a three-year stretch. Following retirement, Kidd became assistant manager to [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] at United and won four [[Premier League]] titles and numerous domestic trophies. In 2009, he became [[Mark Hughes]]' assistant at City and would remain in the position under the next three managers, serving as assistant manager to [[Roberto Mancini]], [[Manuel Pellegrini]] before leaving [[Pep Guardiola]]'s coaching staff at the end of the 2020–21 season, having won numerous titles with City.

During the 1980s to early 2000s, when the gulf between the two clubs was arguably at its biggest, the majority of players who had played for both were largely former United youngsters such as [[Shaun Goater]], [[Jonathan Macken]] and [[Terry Cooke]] who had moved across to City either directly or later in their career, or former United club legends such as [[Peter Schmeichel]], [[Andy Cole]] and [[Andrei Kanchelskis]] who had joined City towards the end of their respected playing careers. Midway through the 1995–96 season, United signed City goalkeeper [[Tony Coton]] who recently lost his place in the Blues team; he lasted six months at Old Trafford but failed to make a single appearance for the Reds before joining [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] in the summer.

In recent years, direct transfers between the clubs have been rare as both sides are now Premier League title challengers. [[Carlos Tevez]] joined City in 2009, having spent the previous two seasons at United. City then produced billboard posters featuring Tevez and the slogan "Welcome to Manchester".<ref>{{cite news |first=Steve |last=Wilson |title=Manchester City taunt Manchester United with Carlos Tevez 'welcome' poster |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/5857213/Manchester-City-taunt-Manchester-United-with-Carlos-Tevez-welcome-poster.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/5857213/Manchester-City-taunt-Manchester-United-with-Carlos-Tevez-welcome-poster.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |work=Daily Telegraph |date=18 July 2009 |access-date=3 November 2010 |location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Tevez had been a first-team regular and had won a variety of trophies under Sir Alex Ferguson and later went on to captain to City in their 2011 [[FA Cup]] triumph as well as playing a part in helping the Blues win their first Premier League] title in 2012.

In 2012, United signed defender [[Frederic Veseli]] from City midway through the 2011–12 season, with the player disappointed that he had been unable to break into Roberto Mancini's first team. He would eventually leave United in 2013, having failed to make any first team appearances for either Manchester side over a three-year period.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-united-city-veseli-25026449 | title="Man City released me...

===Played for one, managed the other===
[[File:Matt Busby cropped.jpg|thumb|[[Matt Busby]] played for Manchester City and managed Manchester United]]

[[Matt Busby]] made more than 200 appearances for Manchester City in the 1920s and 1930s, winning an FA Cup medal in 1934.<ref>James, ''Manchester City – The Complete Record'', pp. 202–3.</ref> Immediately after the Second World War, Busby became Manchester United manager, completely transforming the club in a 24-year tenure. With United he won a European Cup, five league titles, five Charity Shields and two FA Cups, and he rebuilt the team after eight players were killed in the [[Munich air disaster]] in 1958.

[[Steve Coppell]] played over 300 games as a right winger for United, winning the FA Cup in 1977. He became City manager in 1996, but resigned after only 32 days,<ref>Buckley and Burgess, ''Blue Moon Rising'', p. 132.</ref> becoming the shortest serving manager in the club's history.<ref>{{cite news |title=Roller-coaster years |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/1317152.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=7 May 2001 |access-date=14 October 2007 }}</ref>

===Managed both clubs===
[[Ernest Mangnall]] is the only man to have managed both clubs. He oversaw United's first national trophy wins, gaining two league titles, one FA Cup and two Charity Shields.<ref>Penney, ''The Maine Road Encyclopedia'', p. 129.</ref> In September 1912, Mangnall agreed to join City, but remained in charge of United for two more games. His final match in charge of United was a derby, which his new employers City won 1–0.<ref>James, ''Manchester City – The Complete Record'', p. 238.</ref> He signed Billy Meredith for United from City in 1906, and did the same again in 1921, but in the opposite direction. Off the field, he played an important role in both United's move to Old Trafford in 1910 and City's move to Maine Road in 1923.<ref>James, ''Manchester – A Football History'', p. 384.</ref>

==Women's football==
Despite prior meetings between various teams with some level of affiliation to their respective clubs,{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}} the first meeting between the clubs' two professional direct affiliate senior women's teams was on the opening weekend of the [[2019–20 FA WSL|2019–20 FA WSL season]]. Following [[Manchester United W.F.C.|Manchester United]]'s promotion from the [[Women's Championship (England)|FA Women's Championship]] in their [[2018–19 Manchester United W.F.C. season|debut season]],<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wrack |first1=Suzanne |title=Manchester United win to secure promotion to Women's Super League |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/apr/17/manchester-united-promotion-womens-super-league-aston-villa-casey-stoney |website=The Guardian |date=17 April 2019}}</ref> both Manchester clubs had professional senior women's football teams in the same league for the first time, with [[Manchester City W.F.C.|Manchester City]] having been in the division since [[2014 FA WSL|2014]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Manchester City to compete in WSL top tier after restructure |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22314500 |date=26 April 2013}}</ref> The two teams had not met in either domestic cup competition the season prior, so the first derby between the sides was United's first-ever WSL game. In response to the record viewing figures during the [[2019 FIFA Women's World Cup]], it was announced on 8 July 2019 that the fixture would be played at the [[City of Manchester Stadium]] instead of the much smaller [[Academy Stadium]] City's women's team usually plays at.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Duncker |first1=Charlotte |title=Man City vs Manchester United women's game to be played at the Etihad |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/man-city-women-man-utd-16549416 |website=Manchester Evening News |date=8 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Etihad Stadium to host first FA WSL Derby |url=https://www.mancity.com/news/mcwfc/mcwfc-news/2019/july/man-city-fa-wsl-manchester-derby-man-united-women-fixture-etihad-stadium |website=Manchester City }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=WSL: Etihad Stadium & Stamford Bridge to host 2019–20 season openers |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48912097 |date=8 July 2019}}</ref> The game set a new FA WSL attendance record of 31,213 spectators.<ref>{{cite news |title=Manchester City Women 1-0 Manchester United Women: Weir seals win in front of record WSL crowd |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49533282 |date=7 September 2019}}</ref>

===Shared player history===
With no senior team at Manchester United following their disbandment in 2005 shortly after [[Malcolm Glazer]]'s completed takeover,<ref>{{cite web |last1=News |first1=Manchester Evening |title='United gave us a water bottle and then they dumped us' |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/united-gave-us-a-water-bottle-and-then-they-dumped-1063381 |website=Manchester Evening News |date=20 June 2005}}</ref> it was not uncommon for players coming up through Manchester United's academy to join one of United's North West rivals, including Manchester City. [[Northern Ireland women's national football team|Northern Ireland]] international [[Lynda Shepherd]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Lynda Shepherd - Midfielder - Profiles - Blackburn Rovers |url=https://www.rovers.co.uk/teams/ladies/profiles/midfielder/lynda-shepherd/ |website=rovers.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=What's in a name?

With the establishment of a professional team in 2018, [[Ella Toone]] was the first player to make professional appearances for both clubs, having joined Manchester City from United in 2016 before returning for United's debut season. [[Fran Bentley]] was the other member of Manchester United's inaugural squad to join from City, having also originally moved from United, although she never made a senior appearance for City.<ref>{{cite web |last1=McKeegan |first1=Alice |title=Manchester United Women announce squad including Liverpool and Man City signings |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-women-city-liverpool-14905518 |website=Manchester Evening News |date=13 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Wrack |first1=Suzanne |title=Manchester United include England stars in unveiled women's squad |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/13/manchester-united-women-squad-unveiled-england-liverpool-casey-stoney |website=The Guardian |date=13 July 2018}}</ref> In preparation for their first WSL campaign, Manchester United signed two former City players with no previous affiliation to United: [[Abbie McManus]] joined directly from City,<ref>{{cite web |title=Abbie McManus agrees to sign for Manchester United Women |url=https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/abbie-mcmanus-agrees-to-sign-for-manchester-united-women |website=ManUtd.com }}</ref> while [[Jane Ross (footballer)|Jane Ross]] joined from [[West Ham United F.C.
