There might well be life in the old dog yet this season, and didn't the travelling supporters enjoy their afternoon out at the home of their neighbours as United claimed a dramatic 3-2 win.
Since City played Lech Poznan in the Europa League last season, they quickly took to the rather unusual way that fans of the Polish club celebrated, namely to turn away from the action.
Doing a Poznan: Manchester United fans mock Manchester City supporters during the FA Cup third round clash
I don't think they'll relish doing it quite so much from now however, after United fans mocked their rivals and performed their own Poznan celebration during Sunday's FA Cup tie.
City seemed to be down and out when they went 3-0 down against United, but the hosts bounced back and nearly pinched an equaliser in an enthralling finale.
I don't know. Last gasp winners, goals of the season, 6-1 wins, nothing seems to happen in Manchester derbies these days.
