Manchester United fans took a swipe at the blue half of the city with a huge billboard poking fun at Carlos Tevez's rift with Roberto Mancini.
The digital poster showed City outcast Tevez sitting on the bench with the slogan 'Welcome to Carlos Manchester'.

The poster parodies one paid for by City fans when the Argentinian joined the club from United in 2009.
The original billboard showed the striker celebrating a goal and read 'Welcome to Manchester Carlos'.
The Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST), who paid for the poster, said it was a 'warm-hearted message, from some old friends.'

A spokespersonsaid: 'It is just a bit of fun from MUST having a little dig back at our noisy neighbours following their infamous poster when Tevez signed for City.
'As always, Fergie's managerial judgement is proved right in the end.'
Tevez has been suspended by his club pending an investigation into his apparent refusal to come on as a sub during City's 2-0 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday.
