'It's tradition' - Man City fans mock Manchester United after U21s run riot on derby day

Manchester City fans could not contain their excitement after their U21s came back from 1-0 down to beat Manchester United 6-1.

Carlos Borges stole the headlines in sensational style, as the 18-year-old scored four goals in the derby to inspire his team to an emphatic win. The academy side have now followed in the footsteps of their senior team, after replicating City's 6-1 win at Old Trafford more than a decade ago.

Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli, David Silva and Edin Dzeko were the goalscorers for City that day, and as history repeats itself, the Blues may well have a new name to keep an eye out for. After being called up to train with Pep Guardiola's first team last week, Borges certainly showed exactly why he is valued so highly with his superb performance against their rivals.
