Ruben Dias fan club! Maya Jama soaks up Manchester derby experience as boyfriend helps City to Erling Haaland-inspired victory over United

Dias did not take the captain’s armband on this occasion, having been handed that responsibility by Pep Guardiola on a regular basis, but still led by example as another clean sheet was secured.

Phil Foden and Erling Haaland did the damage for City in the final third, with the latter bagging a brace - including his 50th Premier League goal at the Etihad - as the Blues returned to winning ways in spectacular style.

It was an emotional afternoon in Manchester, following the passing of former boxing world champion Ricky Hatton, and his beloved City made sure to honour the memory of a man that always followed the club with passion.

Jama was among those in the crowd, as she took up a VIP seat, and made a point of leading the cheering as City made light work of neighbours that remain alarmingly inconsistent under Ruben Amorim.

Jama has become a regular at City games, while also taking in international matches involving Dias, and is said to be considering a move from London to Manchester that will allow her to shack up with her beau on a more permanent basis.
