It is Manchester derby weekend and fans from both sides of the city are trying to find ways to wind up the opposition. 

Stephen Howson, who runs Manchester United fan site mufclatest.com, came up with a novel way to "stir the pot" by doing the tour of Manchester City's Etihad Stadium while wearing a Manchester United shirt. 

Howson, unsurprisingly, was not exactly glowing in admiration about City's achievements. 

Although he wasn't too happy about having to wear a Manchester City pass.

After a series of tweets, he then admitted that he got "rumbled" by Manchester City staff. 

He later told the Manchester Evening News what happened:

"

They came up to me about two-thirds of the way through and told me to stopped tweeting.

I didn’t think what I was doing was inappropriate, but luckily for them my phone had already died. I was taking the mickey asking them where their Champions League trophies were.

My twitter feed is now an absolute mess. I thought it would get a response and it’s mainly City fans telling me I’m fat, sad and obsessed.

"

United take on City on Sunday afternoon.
