Man City brutally mock Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini on Twitter over his football ability

MANCHESTER CITY brilliantly trolled United midfielder Marouane Fellaini with a remark suggesting he doesn't have the ability to be a footballer.

The Premier League leaders' official French twitter account posted an image of a footballer with a similar hairstyle training in the fog.

Alongside the silhouette, they wrote: "If you find out who is hidden by the fog, you are unplayable..."

One supporter was quick to joke that it was Man United's midfielder Fellaini, even though it was actually winger Leroy Sane.

But Manchester City were having none of it and couldn't resist a dig at the Belgian when they replied: "No he is a football player."

The rivalry between Pep Guardiola's side and the Red Devils reached boiling point last weekend.

Moments after their 2-1 victory at Old Trafford, United boss Jose Mourinho was involved in a huge tunnel bust-up with the City staff and players.

And Guardiola's unstoppable side continued their pursuit to Premier League glory with a 4-1 thrashing of Tottenham on Saturday - their 16th consecutive victory.

It means they remain 11 points clear of Man United and once again they couldn't resist goading their neighbours.

Injured full-back Benjamin Mendy led the celebrations after the game, uploading a video on social media of him and team-mates Ederson, Nicolas Otamendi and Elaquim Mangala.

They could be heard chanting “park the bus, park the bus, Man United,” as they teased their Manchester rivals after their 2-1 derby win the week before.

City’s Christmas schedule of games turns up a notch, as they face six games in the next 18 days.

And they could be the record in Europe's top five big leagues for the most wins in a row at home to Watford on January 2 if they continue their winning streak until then and pick up three points against  the Hornets.
