Manchester United fans plan to unveil a new banner mocking Manchester City's past trophy drought before their match against Tottenham on Saturday. The banner, which is a replacement for one displayed at Old Trafford from 2000 until 2011, comes after a ruling found Manchester City guilty of over 100 breaches of Premier League rules. City’s alleged violations, which occurred between 2009 and 2018, included financial misconduct. City is appealing the verdict and claims to have 'irrefutable evidence' of their innocence, although the precise timing of the appeal remains unclear. The original banner was taken down following City's FA Cup victory in 2011.
