Manchester City have dismissed a bar worker who wore a Manchester United shirt while serving drinks at the Etihad Stadium during the derby on Sunday.
The club became aware of the employee after a post on X from an account called @Mataniels featured a photograph of the worker handing over a pint while wearing a black shirt with a visible United club crest. The post captioned: “Absolute joke @ManCity – letting one of the bar staff in block 315 wear a United shirt on Derby Day #mcfc.”
City’s fan support account responded: “Thank you for making us aware of this. We can confirm that this individual has now been removed from their position.” The @Mataniels account no longer exists, possibly due to pushback from some replies.
City declined to comment further. The club won the 197th Manchester derby 3-0, with goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.
