Manchester City fans have come up with a new chant mocking Manchester United before the FA Cup final.
City take on United at Wembley looking to win their second consecutive FA Cup final, which would be their third triumph since Pep Guardiola took charge.
The blue side of Manchester won their fourth consecutive Premier League title last weekend - something no other team has done in the history of English football.
On the red side of Manchester, however, the situation is much more tantalising, with The Guardian claiming on Friday that United chiefs are set to part company with manager Erik ten Hag after the final - regardless of the result.

The situation mirrors that of the 2015/16 season, when Louis van Gaal's United won the FA Cup final by beating Crystal Palace, only for the Dutchman to be sacked afterwards.
That triumph is one of only five trophies that United have won since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, with City winning 21 trophies during that time period.
On the way to Wembley, therefore, City fans came up with a new chant mocking Ten Hag, the Glazers and United.
Check it out below.
Speaking ahead of the FA Cup final in his pre-match press conference, Guardiola stressed that City's current dominance over English football might not be sustained next season.
He said: "Our team is here, and maybe tomorrow [cup final] will be different, next season will be different with same manager, same team.
"It can be different, nothing is eternal. There are periods in history, always when you have a long history, there are periods [of success].
"I say enjoy the moment, because this is not going to happen for the next how many years. The duty is to sustain it for as long and as much as possible. You have to enjoy it now, and sustain it for as long as possible."
