A Manchester City season-ticket holder has died following “a medical emergency” during the club’s Manchester derby defeat on Sunday.
City confirmed a male supporter died in the wake of their 2-1 Premier League home reverse against Manchester United.
“Manchester City are aware of the tragic news that one of our supporters passed away following a medical incident at yesterday’s match,” City said in a post on X.
