Various reports in England have claimed that Sunday’s Manchester derby ended with a fracas in the Old Trafford tunnel in which United manager Jose Mourinho was reportedly squirted with milk after confronting Manchester City’s players and staff about their over-the-top celebrations.
Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-1 to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points and end the hosts’ 40-game unbeaten run at home. It was also a record 14th straight league win for the visitors.
Police officers and stewards were reportedly forced to intervene in ugly scenes which began with Mourinho telling the victorious visitors to turn their music down and ended with Mikel Arteta, one of City manager Pep Guardiola’s assistants, requiring medical attention for a nasty cut to his face.
According to The Guardian, the violence was sparked when the Manchester United manager became embroiled in an angry war of words with City goalkeeper Ederson.
