Manchester City aimed a cheeky dig at rivals Manchester United after Erik ten Hag’s side dropped more points in the Premier League, following a 0-0 draw away at West Ham on Sunday.
With United failing to find a breakthrough at the London Stadium, City quickly capitalised on the moment online, posting a picture of Erling Haaland with his hair styled to resemble the “United Strand” look that has gone viral in recent weeks.
The post leaned into the same hair stunt that has been circulating on social media, with City making sure the joke landed just as United’s frustrating afternoon was confirmed.
United had chances but could not make them count, and the stalemate meant they missed another opportunity to build momentum in the league. West Ham held firm throughout, keeping Ten Hag’s team at bay to secure a point.
City’s message was clear: while United were left to rue another slip-up, the champions were happy to turn the “United Strand” trend into a punchline, using Haaland as the centrepiece of their latest piece of online trolling.
