Andre Onana has Bernardo Silva last laugh as Bruno Fernandes shows true Man United colours

Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Andre Onana had the last laugh after Bernardo Silva celebrated Man City's goal in front of the goalkeeper.

Manchester United players have taken to social media following their dramatic 2-1 win over Manchester City to rub salt into the wounds of their fierce rivals.

Amad turned the encounter on its head with key contributions late on winning the penalty for Bruno Fernandes' equaliser before ghosting in behind to complete the comeback in stoppage time. The triumph helped Ruben Amorim's side up the table and moved them to within six points of the top four.

Defeat for City compounded a miserable run for Pep Guardiola as the late comeback meant that the reigning champions have just one of their last 11 outings.

The mood was high in the United dressing room after the win and the match-winning Ivorian was active on social media after picking up the Player of the Match award. He shared the accolade to his Instagram story with the cold face emoji and added a post accompanied by a picture of him kissing the badge captioned: "Manchester is RED."

His attacking partner Rasmus Hojlund stole the show with his post-match dig at rival, Kyle Walker. Both the Dane and England international were involved in a first-half flashpoint as they went head-to-head before Walker went to ground - resulting in a melee and both players picking up a yellow card.

He said: "Manchester is red, Violets are blue, What a brilliant performance, But the Oscar goes to…"

Joshua Zirkzee was a second-half substitute as he was introduced to help see out the important win. Footage emerged after full-time which showed the Dutchman running over to the bench and celebrating in front of the City fans and on social media, Zirkzee paid tribute by using Doja Cat's 'Paint The Town Red' song writing: "Paint the town red like Doja said."

United captain Bruno Fernandes commented, 'Beast', on his Zirkzee's post before taking to his own social media where he heralded the support of the travelling fans. He said: "A good end to a good week. Thanks for your support as always reds."

Bruno's praise didn't end there as he lauded his midfield partner Manuel Ugarte, who came in for praise for his display in the middle. The 30-year-old responded: "Wowww, have you stop (sic) running or not yet?"

The Uruguayan took to Instagram saying: "Manchester RED. All together."

After Josko Gvardiol's opener, Bernardo Silva celebrated in front of United goalkeeper Andre Onana but the Cameroon shot-stopper had the last laugh and poked fun on social media, posing alongside the Portugal midfielder leaning on his back.

His defensive line were all in high spirits after the comeback win with Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez all posting on social media with the general consensus that Manchester is red.
