There are many big derbies in English football but not many are played under the pressure of the Manchester Derby. The rivalry between these clubs goes way back and there's no love lost between each set of supporters, with them always eager to get one over on each other. For the majority of time it's been a fixture that the red half of the city have enjoyed, with them winning 73 games to City's 51. The Sir Alex Ferguson era at Old Trafford saw United dominate both locally in their own city, domestically and continentally, winning pretty much every major honour available but recently times have changed.
Since City's takeover by Sheikh Mansour they've invested heavily rebuilding the whole infrastructure of the club which has resulted in them becoming one of the worlds top sides. Years of success which includes three Premier League titles has seen them overthrow United as Manchester's top side and the way things are going it doesn't look like the Red Devils are going to catch them anytime soon. There's been a number of results and performances that've been key to their turnaround in fortunes, but their win over Manchester United in 2011 was a clear turning point.
City travelled across Manchester to Old Trafford at the top of the league, knowing a win would put them 5 points clear and they delivered it in sensational style. The Blues ran out rampant 6-1 winners to inflict United's biggest home defeat since 1955 and send out a massive statement to the rest of the Premier League and Europe that they mean business. It's a memorable day for everyone involved with the club and today marks 7 years to the day that it happened - so we've made a quiz to see how much you can remember from that day. We want to see if you can name both clubs 18's along with their managers inside just 7 minutes - we're expecting some big scores here! Once you've given it your best shot tweet your attempts into us @FootyAccums to see how you compare with the rest of our followers!
