Man Utd stars 'insulted and goaded' City players after 3-2 comeback

Manchester City scored two goals in the first half, but succumbed to a 3-2 defeat after a stunning, Paul Pogba-inspired comeback.

And the Sun claims that local lad Lingard is said to have been the most vocal in goading City's players.

Mourinho initially went in to tell them to turn their music down, and United stars did not forget about the incident. Nevertheless, this time, it was United who turned the volume all the way up.

The report claimed Manchester United players had speakers in their dressing room blaring while they also started dishing out insults with Chris Smalling giving them the lead.

The Red Devils used the action as a payback to replicate what the Citizens did to them in the reverse fixture won by Pep Guardiola's side last December.

The result leaves City 16 points clear at the top with five games remaining on a total of 87 - the most United can now reach is 86.

It's claimed the United players had discovered that City's players had already booked tables at restaurants that evening to celebrate their title success, to which one United player is alleged to have said: "Booked tables have you?"

City needed a win to secure a third Premier League title in seven years but despite roaring into a 2-0 half-time lead, United hit back to claim a 3-2 win and put their derby rivals' celebrations on ice. "We'll take your f***ing tables" were among some of the comments directed at City players.
