Man City analyst accused of hitting Man United fan after derby defeat

A Manchester City analyst has been accused of hitting a Manchester United supporter following Sunday's Manchester derby.

The Premier League fixture took place at Old Trafford, where the Citizens were down to 10 men in the first half due to a red card picked up by Phil Foden.

The England international lashed out on Red Devils captain Bruno Fernandes, who failed to guide his men to any points on the afternoon.

10-man City frustrated the hosts massively and managed to claim three points courtesy of a second-half Erling Haaland goal.

The result meant that Man City maintained their 100% record at the beginning of the Premier League season, sitting in second behind last season's champions Arsenal, who are also on 12 points.

Man City analyst hits Man Utd fan in derby chaos?

According to football journalist Samuel Luckhurst, there was an unusual clash between two people inside of Old Trafford at the full-time whistle.

The report claims that one of Manchester City's analysts hit a Manchester United supporter in the aftermath of the Premier League fixture.

It is understood that the supporter provided his version of events to the security team at the Theatre of Dreams before departing the stadium.

It is currently unclear who the Man City staff member was exactly, or whether the case will be investigated further by the relevent authorities.

It appeared that tensions between the players were high after the match, and it seems that those hostilities spread off the pitch.

Manchester United were quick to hand Michael Carrick a permanent role as head coach for this season, however, the Red Devils may already be regretting that decision.

The former midfielder has guided his side to just the single Premier League success so far in 2026-27, beating an Ipswich Town side who look destined for the drop.

It was hoped there would be a new dawn at Old Trafford with Carrick at the helm, but it seems that the same problems haunt Man Utd.

FGG says: Investigation needed

If true, the Manchester City analyst should be ashamed and potentially kept out of a footballing career for the rest of their lives.

That would only be the start of the proposed punishment, with potential jail time needed for an act of violence.

Carter is a Premier League and EFL accredited journalist with over six years of reporting experience, specialising in Championship football. He has interviewed former Premier League and Champions League winners, as well as regularly attending matches and asking hard-hitting questions directly to managers in press conferences.
