Manchester United vs Manchester City History

There was little to no animosity between these teams in the early years of the Football League, though the Manchester derby has taken on much greater meaning in more recent times. This local rivalry only became a regular top-flight fixture in the 1950s, though this was defined as a golden period for Manchester United, orchestrated by manager Matt Busby. The Red Devils won the European Cup as well as five First Division titles under the great Scotsman.

Busby's countryman Alex Ferguson was appointed Man United manager in 1986 with the task of returning the Old Trafford club to its former glory. He did just that, guiding the Reds to 13 Premier League titles & two Champions League crowns during his 26 years at the helm.

Since Ferguson stepped down in 2013, the Manchester tide has turned from red to blue. In the 10 years immediately following the retirement of Man United's greatest manager, the Red Devils didn't win a single Premier League title, while Man City were crowned champions of England six times.

The takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008 culminated in a substantial cash injection in the blue half of Manchester. The Citizens have subsequently been the team to beat in recent years, particularly since Pep Guardiola took up the role of manager in 2016.

Manchester City have won several major honours under Guardiola, with a total of five trophies in 2023 alone. The Sky Blues captured a historic treble made up of the Premier League, FA Cup & Champions League, before also capturing the UEFA Super Cup & FIFA Club World Cup in the subsequent months. To make things even sweeter for Man City, they beat their local rivals in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester Derby Stats & Mutual Connections

Wayne Rooney scored 11 goals in 25 appearances as a Man United player against the club's local rivals. No player has found the net more times in this derby than the former England forward.

Several players have represented each of these rivals, and some have even transferred directly between the clubs:

  • Former Argentina striker Carlos Tevez & Denmark goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel stand out as the most high-profile stars who have run out for Man United as well as Man City.

  • Denis Law & Owen Hargreaves both moved to Man City on a free transfer following the ends of their contracts with United. Both men played just a single season for the Citizens before retiring from the game.

Manchester United vs Manchester City Head-to-Head

These Manchester rivals have clashed more than 190 times with so many memorable occasions to recount.

Perhaps Man City's most famous win at Old Trafford came in October 2011. Roberto Mancini's side scored three times after the 88th minute and ran out 6-1 winners at the 'Theatre of Dreams', inflicting Man United's heaviest defeat at Old Trafford since 1955. The visitors also went on to win a maiden Premier League crown that season, pipping the Red Devils in the very last minutes of the league campaign.

Just two years earlier, Michael Owen had scored a stoppage-time winner in front of the Stretford End to hand Man United a 4-3 victory over their local foes.

In more recent times the Manchester rivals contested the FA Cup final in 2023, marking the first time these two sides had met on this distinguished stage. Man City got the better of MUFC in the 190th Manchester derby as captain İlkay Gündoğan scored twice in a 2-1 win at Wembley Stadium. The teams reconvened in the 2024 FA Cup final, though this time it was Manchester United who emerged victorious with teenagers Alejandro Garnacho & Kobbie Mainoo both netting in the first half.
