A group of Manchester City players reportedly confronted officials in the tunnel following their wild 2–1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford
The reason for frustration from the City side was centered around a controversial call on United’s first goal of the afternoon, which saw United striker Marcus Rashford in a clear offside position prior to Bruno Fednandes’s equalizer. Rashford appeared to make a run for the ball but didn’t touch it, and Fernandes smashed it home to tie the match.
Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji alluded to the tunnel confrontation when speaking to reporters after the match, appearing to confirm that some sort of incident took place. Akanji also made his thoughts on the controversial decision involving Rashford known. saying he thought “the pressure” of the Manchester derby got to the game’s officiating crew.
“I understand he doesn’t touch the ball but he runs for 30 meters, chasing the ball then he stops. The ref didn’t look at the situation.”
