Per BBC Sport, United manager Jose Mourinho "had water and milk thrown at him" after an argument. City coach Mikel Arteta also suffered a cut to his head.

However, the FA said they consulted witnesses in the tunnel and have no intention to proceed with a punishment.

Mourinho reportedly had words with City goalkeeper Ederson as the visitors celebrated their important Premier League victory.

Arteta was cut after being hit by a plastic bottle, but both clubs said no fight occurred after the match.
