The fight wasn't confined to the pitch in the Manchester Derby.

Reports suggest 20 players and staff from City and United were involved in a brawl in the corridor outside the City changing room after the Sky Blues beat their near neighbours 2-1.

Manchester City coach Mikel Arteta was left bleeding and reportedly needing treatment after the incident, which was broken by police and stewards.

The row started after Jose Mourinho entered the City dressing room, telling them to turn down the music.

The Guardian detailed a witness account of the incident, which escalated after Mourinho clashed with Ederson.

The pair exchanged insults in Portuguese after Mourinho accused Ederson of time wasting before barking in English “you fucking show respect. Who are you?”

The FA will await the report from match referee before deciding whether to investigate the incident.
