Manchester City's Twitter account has aimed a rather bizarre dig at Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

An image of Leroy Sane playing in the mist was posted to the Citizens' official French account on Monday, following their 4-1 win over Tottenham.

Alongside the picture read the caption, translated from French: "If you find who is hidden by the fog, you are unplayable."

A Manchester City fan was quick to respond to the tweet, joking that the man in the image was the Red Devils' Marouane Fellaini.

The two players bare little resemblance other than their slightly similar hairstyles, hence the reason for the supporter's quip.

Man City's twitter account replied to the fan, writing: "No, he is a football player."

The tweet emerges on the back of the Manchester derby, which descended into chaos in the tunnel after the final whistle.

Jose Mourinho was angry by the loud celebrations coming from the Citizens' dressing room, and became embroiled in an argument with Ederson near the entrance.

The ensuing ruckus saw a number of players get involved, as Mourinho was squirted with milk and water and Man City coach Mikel Arteta suffered a facial injury.
