After Man United beat Man City, Yuvraj Singh was ecstatic and posted a tweet celebrating their victory. However, Monty Panesar was unimpressed and cited Man City's 28-match unbeaten streak, thereby leading to a verbal duel between the two former cricketers.

Former cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Monty Panesar engaged in a verbal duel on Twitter after the Manchester Derby as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men beat Pep Guardiola's Man City for a third consecutive time at the Etihad.

However, Monty Panesar was quick to downplay United's win as he retweeted, "Manchester City were unbeaten in their last 28 matches across all competitions."
