Manchester United v Manchester City Match in Pictures
Manchester United legend Roy Keane was involved in an altercation with a supporter following his former side’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. An Eric Bailly own goal and Bernardo Silva strike was enough for Pep Guardiola’s side to secure all three points. But tempers appeared to boil over in the aftermath.

“Ole is a brilliant guy and an honest guy but management is about survival and he’s got to get a result in the next game.
“A coach or a manager can’t give a player courage. I have to remind myself it’s hard out there but they shouldn’t be 11 points behind Chelsea.
“I think Ole will be under more pressure than the Liverpool game. The way they lost, it’s a derby game.
“Ole was shook up in that interview, it’s tough for a manager when you’ve got beat in a match and he’s getting asked hard questions but he’s steps up and he always has and I’ll give him that.
“But if you’re a manager, this morning he spoke about the players being in a good mood in the hotel whatever the hell they were doing, you’re going into a match looking at the bus and Shaw, Maguire, Fred and your job is depending on these guys? You’re in trouble.
“You got international players. Anyone who tells me Fred is good enough for United - they’re in cuckoo cuckoo land.

“Cavani is 30 odd you can't hang your hat on him every week. I can imagine Ole looking at players and not knowing what you’re going to get.
“Micah will enjoy their day and they all have their little day, Liverpool one title in 30 years. Man United are in a bad place, but there’s a way out. Is Ole the man to do it?
“Huge question marks. I hope he is but it’s more hope than belief.”
Solskjaer, meanwhile, insisted he was still the right man for the job.
"I have good communication with the club,” he said.
"I want the best for United and as long as I'm here I want to do everything I can to improve this."

And he added: "Very difficult to talk about because we started off badly, passive and when they got the first goal it was always going to be difficult.
"David kept us in the game and they scored a goal they always score.
“They played well and they don't give you opportunities so some praise has to go to them but we were not at our level.
"I think the whole place went a little bit, of course you get disappointed but we still don’t trust ourselves with the ball.
"They made it hard for us but sometimes we chose the wrong solution, sometimes the right solution but not the right execution."
