Manchester derby: Violence erupts in the streets of Manchester following Manchester City’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford

THIS is the shocking moment rivals fans clashed in the street after the Manchester derby today.

Trouble has flared in the Northern Quarter area of the city this evening following City's 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.

A video shared on social media shows fans clashing in Tib Street. A group can be seen scuffling on the ground, while another man picks up a hoarding, presumably ripped from a shop.

Punches and kicks are then thrown, and one man is attacked by a street sign in the ugly scenes played out in the north west.

Shouts of "come on then" are clearly heard, as a group of around five men continue to advance towards a much larger crowd.

Glass bottles are also heard smashing on the floor before police sirens are heard in the background.

The Northern Quarter is a popular spot in Manchester, with a large number of bars, pubs and restaurants in the vicinity.

It is unclear if anyone was arrested by police in the fight.

City triumphed against their bitter rivals United 2-1 in the early afternoon kick-off.

Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho put the visitors into a 2-0 first half lead after completely outclassing their opponents.

An error by new City keeper Claudio Bravo then allowed United frontman Zlatan Ibrahimovic to give the hosts some hope, but Pep Guardiola's side held out in the second half to claim the three points.
