Figures 1 and 6 are very painful for MU. 1-6 defeat they never imagined. Rather, these numbers meaningful for the City. Them for the 16th time beating Manchester United with the numbers 1 and 6 alias 1-6.

However, champions Manchester United still the team mentality. They never give up and immediately threw her head back and continue to fight in the competition. Mentality that is praised Mancini.
