Couple divided by football find perfect holiday home ahead of Manchester derby

Warring lovers divided over their support for Man United and Man City have found the perfect holiday property ahead of the Manchester Derby - as its decor is split half-blue and half-red. United fan Chantel and City-supporting Dan rented the chalet on Booking.com in Manchester city centre, which comes kitted out with a colour-split bed, bathroom and sofas.

The one-bed rental's exterior is painted half blue and half white along with the border fence - and there's even a coloured loo roll for each. Bed sheets, mugs and cushions are also assigned to the red or blue side of Manchester to avoid Dan and Chantel having to use ones the same colour as their opposing team's shirt.

As Manchester United prepare to host Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, families across the city will be divided by their passionate support for the city's historic clubs. In the hope of bringing families together Booking.com took inspiration from the popular-yet-controversial half-and-half scarves to construct the bizarre property.
