As the Cityzens dominated the game, a section of the visiting United fans were spotted leaving the Etihad Stadium in disappointment. The Red Devils have now lost two out of their first four matches and are 14th in the Premier League.

    United fans left Etihad before full-time

    This was United's second league defeat and third loss overall in the new season as they remain in the bottom half of the table. Towards the end of the match, a section of the visiting fans silently left the Etihad, which, according to Red Devils legend Rooney, was a "powerful" bad omen.

  • Rooney's warning for Man Utd & Amorim

    Speaking on , the England legend said: "There was an image towards the end of the game, where I was seeing the Man Utd fans leaving. I've never seen that. In my time, I've never seen Man Utd fans leaving and you could hear the fans singing Amorim's name, but I think that is so powerful that the Man Utd fans were leaving the game because they knew the game is over and I think there were very disappointed in what they've seen. So it's hard to see how it continues."
