Top 10: Manchester derbies
The history of the Manchester derby can be traced back as far as 1881 when, in a friendly on Nov 12, West Gorton (St. Marks) – the forerunners of City – played at home to Newton Heath, later United. The "Heathens" won 3-0 and the affair was described, in the local press, as "a pleasant game".
Mobbed: fans congratulate Denis Law after his back-heel sent United down to Division Two in 1974
The first Football League meeting was in the 1894-95 season with Newton Heath beating Manchester City 5–2 at Hyde Road.
They first met in the top division in Dec 1906, a 3–0 City win in a First Division match for which the gate receipts exceeded £1,000, a huge amount at the time.
1. Manchester United 4 Manchester City 1, Division One, Aug 31, 1957
The last Manchester derby before the Munich Air Disaster. Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, David Pegg, Liam Whelan, Duncan Edwards and Tommy Taylor all featured, just five months before their untimely and tragic deaths in Germany. Goals from Edwards, Taylor, Johnny Berry and Dennis Viollet maintained United's perfect start to the season.
2. Manchester City 3 Manchester United 3, Division One, Nov 6, 1971
The highlights of this encounter included a 17-year-old Sammy McIlroy scoring on his United debut, a wonderful equaliser from Colin Bell, some brilliant goalkeeping from Alex Stepney and Francis Lee playing up to the crowd by accusing George Best of diving. City recovered first from 2-0 and 3-2 down.
3. Manchester United 0 Manchester City 1, Division One, April 27, 1974
The day United were relegated, but the fact is that former favourite Denis Law's back-heeled goal against his old side did not send United into Division Two. Birmingham's victory that day meant that United would still have gone down, but Law's refusal to celebrate remains an abiding memory for older fans.
4. Manchester City 5 Manchester 1, Division One, Sept 23, 1989
United started well until the players were taken off the Maine Road pitch because of crowd trouble. When they returned after a 10-minute break, newly-promoted City took control, their march halted only by a remarkable Mark Hughes bicycle kick. Alex Ferguson later described it as his "most embarrassing defeat".
5. Manchester City 2 Manchester United 3, Premiership, Nov 7, 1993
United were able to restore their 11-point advantage at the top of the Premiership after going two goals down, both scored by Niall Quinn. Eric Cantona scored twice and, with three minutes left Roy Keane claimed the winner.
6. Manchester United 5 Manchester City 0, Premiership, Nov 10, 1994
United's best ever derby win in the Premiership came eight days after a 4-0 defeat by Barcelona - a result that prompted a massive sale of Barca shirts to the blue side on Manchester. Andrei Kanchelskis won the United fans over with a hat-trick.
7. Manchester United 1 Manchester City 1, Premier League, April 21, 2001
The culmination of a long-standing feud between Roy Keane and Alf-Inge Haaland emerged at Old Trafford. The feud started in 1998, when United captain Keane suffered a cruciate ligament injury when clean through on goal, being chased down by Haaland (then playing for Leeds). Three years later Keane made a knee-high tackle on Haaland, was red-carded and later admitted in his autobiography that it was a premeditated attempt to injure. He later received a £150,000 fine and a five-match ban.
8. Manchester City 3 Manchester United 1, Premier League, Nov 9, 2002
Thirteen years had passed since City had beaten United, but Shaun Goater proved to be the hero of Kevin Keegan's first – and City's last – derby at Maine Road. Nicolas Anelka put City ahead after five minutes after a comedy fumble from the increasingly erratic Fabien Barthez, only for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to level three minutes later. But two goals from Goater gave City a rare derby success.
9. Manchester City 3 Manchester United 1, Premier League, Jan 14, 2006
How they enjoyed this one in the blue half of the City. Not only a City win, but the sight of Cristiano Ronaldo shown a red card. Frustrated that his side were deservedly losing to goals from Trevor Sinclair and Darius Vassell, Ronaldo high-kicked into Andy Cole's midrift and was dismissed by Steve Bennett, who had conveniently missed Stephen Jordan's hefty assault on the Portuguese moments earlier.
10. Manchester City 0 Manchester United 1, Premier League, May 5 2007
Edwin van der Sar saved a late penalty as United effectively won the Premier League title at the home of their foes. The match was by no means a classic, but it was fitting that Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty should win the game after he had been stamped on by Michael Ball in the first half.
