The build up took all summer and a lot of money while the game itself will go down as legend.  But what about the investigation in Craig Bellamy’s altercation with a fan on the field that’s led to a police investigation, City substitute Javier Garrido getting hit in the head with a coin while walking into the tunnel next to former United start Carlos Tevez and the 51 supporters ejected from Old Trafford?  Oh, you didn’t hear about that?

Bellamy approached the man, who had staged a solo pitch invasion, and shoved him in the face before the fan was then led away by stewards.

“At the end of the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, a member of the public ran on to the pitch, and was detained by police and security staff,” a spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said. “During this time, there was an altercation between the man and a player from Manchester City FC.

“No formal complaint has been made by either party but police are continuing to make inquiries.”

Greater Manchester Police will also investigate a coin-throwing attack on the City substitute Javier Garrido, who was struck as he headed down the tunnel at half-time.

The missile was launched from the home section of the crowd as Garrido walked alongside the probable intended target, Carlos Tevez, who was jeered throughout by United fans following his transfer across the city during the summer.

Twelve people were arrested at the ground for a variety of public order offences and a further 10 were arrested in the city.

A total of 51 supporters were ejected from Old Trafford during the game.
