It may be four years since he last took part in a Manchester derby, but Mario Balotelli is still emotionally invested in what has now become the Premier League's most expensive game.
The Italian centre forward is currently in France where he is preparing for his debut with OGC Nice but the former City man has still taken time out to remind his followers of the fateful day his brace at Old Trafford helped City to one of their most famous derby day victories, when they destroyed United 6-1 in their own back yard.

Balotelli did make sure to apologise to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, however before he declared that "city have to win". It would seem that the former City and Liverpool striker's trolling of United has become more polite since moving to France. Who can forget this gem after United capitulated to a 5-3 defeat at Leicester City, two years ago?
Who do you think will come away from today's Manchester derby with local bragging rights? United or City? Have your say in the comments section, below.
