Rasmus Hojlund's hilarious dig at Kyle Walker after Man Utd win the derby

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund couldn't resist rubbing salt in the wounds of Kyle Walker.

The Red Devils had a dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad after turning the game around late on.

It was a fiery affair, with a heated confrontation between Hojlund and Walker early in the game.

The City captain reacted theatrically to a challenge from the Danish forward, falling to the ground in a manner that did not impress pundits or fans.

And Hojlund couldn't resist taking a swipe at his rival on social media after the game.

The United striker shared an image of the incident on Instagram, accompanied by the caption: "Manchester is red. Violets are blue. What a brilliant performance. But the Oscar goes to..."

The jibe was a clear reference to Walker's theatrical fall, which was widely criticized by pundits, including Manchester United legend Roy Keane.

"He must be embarrassed. He must be embarrassed to go down like that," Keane fumed during the half-time analysis.

"An experienced player, this isn't contact. Look at this! I don't know the guy and I'm embarrassed for him."

Hojlund's social media post quickly went viral, adding further fuel to the fire after the already heated derby.

The victory was a much-needed boost for United, who had suffered back-to-back defeats in the league prior to the clash.

Amad Diallo was the hero, scoring twice to secure a stunning comeback against a struggling City side.

United face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday with this win restoring confidence after back-to-back defeats in the league.

This derby will be remembered for the drama on and off the pitch, with Hojlund's social media post adding another chapter to the long and storied rivalry between the two Manchester clubs.
