The FA have reprimanded City over the behaviour of one of their ball boys during United’s 1-0 win on derby day.
As Cristiano Ronaldo went to take a corner, the ball boy lobbed the ball with some force at the player’s face. After initially looking startled, a smile crept across Ronaldo’s face, not reacting angrily like some might.
Fourth official Lee Mason spoke to City officials at the time to inform them that this conduct was unacceptable and this has been passed on to the FA.
Unsurprisingly, Manchester “massive” City fans were very excited by the whole affair.
