Absolutely mental that Jordan Henderson’s might win Player of the Year ahead of Kevin De Bruyne. If you need help identifying Henderson, he’s the one chasing De Bruyne around the pitch tonight. Wears the red number 14 shirt.

The Manc derby could be a huge factor in the title race, so we asked a question:
Would
#MUFC
rather win the derby and hand the title to
#LFC
, or lose to City and allow their rivals to win the title at Old Trafford?
For United fan
@bryan_dutch
, it wasn't a difficult choice...
@HITCSevens
What a superb way to find out:
1) That Jack Rodwell is playing for Sydney FC
2) That Sydney FC have a cracking kit
3) How it’s ironic that an injury prone player plays for a club who’s kit is sponsored by a painkiller medication
Jack Grealish on Steve Bruce's training sessions from his spell at

"The football was similar to Tony Pulis but at least Tony had a plan. I remember Steve would throw the ball in the middle in training and say "let's play" like we were under-9's. It was crazy"

Elano: "I have a very strong relationship with England. My kids were born there, the gates of European football were opened there for me. My team in Europe is Man City, my daughter cheers for City."
Throwback to when Zlatan Ibrahimovic pulled off the most ridiculous goal during his early years at Ajax.
Can't think of many better individual goal than this, ever!
Raheem Sterling on a lack of respect for

: "Everyone can see it. It's impossible that we win the league 4 or 5 times without the POTY. This year
#LFC
will win and surely Player of the Year will be one of their players. We are not treated with the same respect."
Agree?
Raheem Sterling: "No one’s made a big deal out of it [treble]. If another team had done it, a lot more would have been made out of the team, or out of the individuals. Even last year when we won the league with 100 points, it wasn’t highlighted in a way where I felt it was right"
According to recent allegations, Manchester City have supposedly cheated Financial Fair Play rules.💰

Oleksandr Zinchenko: "I would like to be [a] Manchester City legend, why not? Of course it's a big pleasure to be part of this team. Of course I want to become a top player, [I] just want to improve myself step by step."
Top attitude 👌
Sergio Aguero getting a Man United badge on FIFA and immediately quick selling it 😂
It's the petty things that make fans love you that little bit more 🙈
Manchester City have sold their entire 28,000 allocation for the
#FACupFinal
at Wembley next weekend.
With the average ticket price being £93.75, that means City fans alone have spent a total of £2,625,000 supporting their team.
Gives you an idea just how much the FA pull in 👀
When a 15-year-old Sergio Aguero made his debut for Independiente in 2003, he played against an 18-year-old Pablo Zabaleta, who was at San Lorenzo at the time.
Eight years later, they'd be team mates at

!
Imagine time travelling back to 2017 and telling Adama Traore & Martin Braithwaite that in 5 years time, they could line up for Barcelona at the Camp Nou, being managed by Xavi, and not playing for Garry Monk's Middlesbrough in the Championship.
Football's nuts sometimes.
Average attendances:
Man City - 54,163

But Liverpool LOVE to throw it out that 'City have no support'...
Just a quick message to say if you think it's acceptable to reply to any
#MCFC
or
#MUFC
player's social media posts about the Manchester Attack anniversary today, asking them to leave the club (or anything else for that matter), you're a massive arsehole.
Pablo Zabaleta: "My favourite moment of the season was beating Manchester United at home. It was an important win for us, I managed to get an assist for Felipe's goal, plus it's always nice to get one over United"
Once a blue...
21st May: Javier Tebas calls out Man City and PSG for 'inflating the transfer market and ruining football'

🗣 "Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world at the minute, top five of all time"
After Paul Merson claimed Pep Guardiola couldn't do what Rafa Benitez has done at Newcastle United,
@Sammy_Goal
had a different opinion...
Danny Rose: "The government's saying bring back football to boost the morale of the nation...I don't give a f*ck about the nation's morale. People's lives are at risk. Football shouldn't be spoken about until numbers have dropped massively. It's bollocks."

An average of over 5 times a day 😂

Garth Crooks has named Jordan Henderson in his Team of the Week (which is fair enough) and praised his "controlled pass" to Xherdan Shaqiri for Diogo Jota's winner.
Here's that incredible pass...

Only one footballer has ever won the Premier League, LaLiga & Serie A.
And

He’s also just scored 31 goals at the age of 35 to drive Juventus to another title.
That’s why he’s the 🐐

OFFICIAL: David Silva says he will leave Manchester City at the end of next season after ten years at the club.
“10 years is enough. It completes the cycle”
Where does he rank on City’s best players of all time?
@IFLTV
Proves how hard it is to find big guys that can replicate Fury's characteristics, whereas it's easier to find smaller guys that can replicate Usyk's style. Should be a great fight 🥊
