BLAME GAME STILL RAGING

dispute spilling out into a narrow corridor. Witnesses claim Romelu Lukaku was at the centre of the incident.

United deny their striker threw anything as tempers boiled over, and insist milk was hurled towards Mourinho from inside the dressing room, a charge denied by City.

Both clubs have until 5pm tomorrow to provide the FA with written observations after it was confirmed referee Michael Oliver – whose room is next to the away dressing room at Old Trafford – did not witness the scuffle or include it in his report.

Both clubs were yesterday intent on playing the blame game.

City pointed the finger at Mourinho for sparking trouble by asking them to turn down music which had been blaring out.

United claimed it was overthe-top celebrations from City which was the flashpoint.

One independent witness near the dressing room said they had never heard music played so loudly.

United are adamant Mourinho did nothing wrong and it has been suggested City captain Vincent Kompany (right) was one of the main aggressors in the tunnel area.

The incident will serve only to increase the tension that already exists between the clubs and old foes

Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.

Two weeks ago City angered Southampton with the level of noise from their players and staff in the tunnel at the Etihad after a goal deep into injury time sank the Saints.
