Manchester United fans have spoken out after local rivals Manchester City lost their fifth match in a row for the first time under Pep Guardiola.
On Thursday night, City fans celebrated as the club confirmed that long-serving manager Guardiola had penned a new two-year deal with the club, extending his stay until 2027.

After winning 18 trophies with City, including five Premier League titles, many fans have claimed that Guardiola is the greatest manager that England has ever seen.
But after the dismal display against Tottenham, United fans have assured their rivals that the best ever manager is Sir Alex Ferguson.
