    In the first-half of United's 2-1 comeback win on Sunday, striker Hojlund and City defender Walker squared up to one another, before the latter fell to the floor after claiming the Dane had headbutted him, despite replays showing that was definitely not the case. The pair received yellow cards for their actions and not long after the Red Devils claimed the three points, Hojlund took to social media to rub it in the 34-year-old's face.

    The result meant it is now just one win in 11 games for City in all competitions, with Pep Guardiola's men nine points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool. Plus, the Reds have a game in hand. This was also a statement win from Ruben Amorim's United, with this victory potentially kickstarting their season. Incidentally, Walker was branded a "disgrace" for his histrionics.
