Man Utd fans sing Man City’s cheeky chant against Leeds to taunt rivals as they face RELEGATION from Premier League


MANCHESTER UNITED fans aimed a cheeky chant at rivals Manchester City amid the threat of relegation.

During their 2-2 draw against Leeds, the Red Devils faithful could be heard singing: “City’s going down with a billion in the bank.”

It comes after City were charged by the Premier League with over 100 alleged breaches of financial rules.

The possible charges the club face range from a reprimand all the way up to expulsion from the league.

Rival fans have understandably been unable to resist a few digs at Pep Guardiola’s side.

And cross-town rivals United were in full voice with the chant during their 2-2 comeback against Leeds.

However, the chant actually originates from City fans taking an ironic dig at themselves.

City came under investigation from Uefa back in 2020 for allegedly breaking FFP rules, with the European football body handing them a two-year ban from the Champions League.

This ruling was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

But a key difference between the two cases is the nature of time-barred evidence.

While the CAS ruling in 2020 was partly overturned due to this factor, the Premier League case does hold the same restrictions.

As well as fans of rival clubs, the respective hierarchies of rival clubs want City booted out or relegated if the charges are proven.
