Players clash in Old Trafford tunnel after Manchester derby
Jose Mourinho sparked a row by telling Pep Guardiola's players to keep their celebrations down, with Blues goalkeeper Ederson taking exception. Manchester United and Manchester City players and staff were involved in a heated altercation in the Old Trafford tunnel which left Jose Mourinho covered in water and Mikel Arteta nursing a cut eyebrow, Goal understands.
City's players were celebrating their 2-1 victory at the home of their rivals when Mourinho, on his way to a post-match press conference, entered the visiting dressing room. It is believed that the City players were playing music, cheering and singing after goals from David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi put them 11 points clear at the top of the table. Sources indicate Mourinho took exception, believing the celebrations to be a lack of respect, and told Pep Guardiola's men to calm down with a comment in Portuguese that sparked an ugly reaction. Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson is said to have confronted Mourinho, which led to a number of players and members of staff from both teams spilling out of their respective dressing rooms and into the tunnel, where they pushed and shoved each other.
Witnesses claim a number of bottles were thrown, with Mourinho left covered in water after the melee.
