EPL: Man City Sack Barman For Wearing United’s Jersey On Derby-Day

Manchester City have dismissed a barman after he was spotted serving fans during Sunday’s derby while wearing a Manchester United shirt.

City officials were alerted to the unusual choice of attire after a frustrated home supporter raised concerns on X (formerly Twitter). The ex-bar worker was seen on the concourse behind the bar in a dark United away shirt from the 2018–19 season.

A fan posted a photo showing a staff member serving drinks while wearing a Manchester United away jersey from the 2018–19 season—an especially provocative sight on derby day. The supporter tagged the club, calling it “an absolute joke” that bar staff in Block 315 were allowed to work in rival colours during such a high-stakes match.

The episode added a strange subplot to a miserable day for United, who slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.

After the game, manager Ruben Amorim admitted his philosophy is non-negotiable, saying the club would have to remove him if they want to abandon his preferred 3-4-3 formation.
