Manchester City have let go a bar worker who wore a Manchester United shirt while serving the Etihad Stadium during the major derby on the weekend.
Situation Brought to Light on Social Media
Team officials were made aware of the incident through a message on X, which included a photograph of the staff member handing over a beverage while clearly displaying the opposing team's crest.
The message was accompanied by strong criticism, calling it an "absolute joke" that a staff member would display opposing merchandise on such a significant match day.
Club's Response and Result
The club's official channel responded, thanking the user for reporting the issue and stating that the individual had been removed from their position.
The user's profile that posted the image has since been deleted, perhaps due to backlash from other users. The club opted not to issue additional statements.
Game Outcome
In the match itself, the home side claimed a decisive three-nil victory in the 197th Manchester derby, with scores from key players including Phil Foden and a striker.
