Manchester City have taken another cheeky dig at rivals Manchester United by trolling Marouane Fellaini on their French language Twitter account.

The official ManCityFra account posted a photograph of Leroy Sane obscured by the Mancunian fog as he trained on Monday ahead of City's EFL Cup quarter-final at Leicester City on Tuesday night.

They accompanied the picture by writing: 'If you find out who is hidden by the fog, you are unplayable...'

Manchester City's French Twitter account posted a picture of Leroy Sane training in the fog on Monday with the message 'If you find out who is hidden by the fog, then you are unplayable'. One reply said 'Fellaini' to which the City account responded: 'No, he is a football player'

Because the German winger's hairstyle has a similar silhouette, one Twitter user replied 'Fellaini'.

The City account couldn't resist a tongue-in-cheek response and wrote: 'No, he is a football player'. The post was retweeted and liked thousands of times by their followers.

It came a day after a video emerged of City players singing 'Park the bus, park the bus, Man United,' a song invented by their fans to mock Jose Mourinho's negative tactics in big matches.

City certainly have all the bragging rights at the moment as they lead United by 11 points at the top of the Premier League having won 17 of their 18 matches so far and drawing the other.

City fans and players have already mocked United boss Jose Mourinho for his negative tactics

They won 2-1 at Old Trafford earlier this month to take an even more commanding grip on the title race, with Pep Guardiola's side also playing by far the most attractive football.

Players and staff from both sides clashed in the Old Trafford tunnel after City's win after Mourinho stormed into the away dressing room to tell them to show greater respect in their celebrations.

However, one Twitter user pointed out that Fellaini actually has a far more impressive CV than Sane and didn't deserve the little dig.

While Sane won the FIFA Confederations Cup earlier this year with Germany, Fellaini has won the Belgian league title, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League during his career with Standard Liege and United.
