Manchester United fans are planning to bring back a banner at Old Trafford that mocks Manchester City’s trophy drought after City are found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules.
Multiple outlets report the banner has been used in the past and could be brought back for the next Premier League match involving United. The Independent and Manchester Evening News say the banner was previously a feature at Old Trafford before City won the FA Cup in 2011, framing its return as a continuation of long-running rivalry.
The Daily Mail and The Mirror tie the move directly to the Premier League guilty verdict. They report that City’s punishment follows a ruling over alleged breaches, with coverage noting the number of charges City were found to have breached (114 of 115, according to one outlet). Across sources, the key focus is fans’ decision to use the banner as a form of protest or taunt in response to the ruling.
