I didn’t expect what Man City fans did vs Salford as Gary Neville and Kevin De Bruyne sent message

Manchester: So, City had a big win over Salford in the FA Cup, right? It was a match everyone expected them to win, especially since Salford is in League Two. But this game had a little extra spice because it was the first time these two local teams faced off, and Salford has ties to Manchester United.

Even though Gary Neville wasn’t at the game, you could feel the rivalry. Ryan Giggs was on the Salford bench, and Paul Scholes was watching from the director’s box. City’s players, like Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish, really showed up, with McAtee even scoring a hat-trick!

Now, about the fans. After De Bruyne made some comments about the crowd last week, you might think the atmosphere would be flat. But nope! The City fans were loud and proud, especially since they were up against a team owned by United legends. They kicked things off with chants aimed at Neville just 10 seconds in!

As the game went on, the City fans kept the energy up, singing about Ryan Giggs and having a blast. They even turned the lower tier into a sea of celebration when the score hit 6-0. It was a refreshing change for them, especially after some tough times lately.

Guardiola wasn’t taking this match lightly either. He made nine changes to the lineup, showing he wanted his team to perform. He had a clear message in his program notes about needing to get back to their best. And it looked like they were on the right track, jumping to an early lead.

Grealish finally scored after a long wait, but his celebration was pretty low-key. He just smiled and sent kisses to the sky. It’s been a rough patch for him, but he’s clearly still in the game and ready to fight for his spot.

Doku also had a great night, scoring twice and assisting two others. Guardiola seemed pleased overall, even sharing a laugh with Doku when he came off. It was nice to see some smiles after a solid performance!
